so would it be worth it for me to upgrade my GPU, when the 8600gt runs everything fine on this resolution. If i was to upgrade my monitor what size monitor should i get? Another question would I my e4400 be able to handle the 8800? . Hey guys, Im thinking...

I am fine with a 17"monitor. It is uses the DVI and I can see no reason why I would want to upgrade this monitor. I guess my point is is that there are some parts that you will not have to upgrade for probably 3-5 years. Cases, PSU, and monitors (assuming...

For example if you look here, the fps in Crysis did not really depend on the CPU (Q9450 is faster than Phenom 9850, but both got about 40 fps): The motherboard didn't matter either. on a low res. ( 1280X1024) , am thinking about upgrading the monitor later...

and not matching a monitor that will use its resolutions, your wasting your money. Good Gaming guidelines from my experiences....(max resolution you want to run and maintain decent performance) Graphics Card Nvida / ATI = Monitor's Native Resolution...

that details the differences with Creative. Have an older Denon that doesn't have an optical in but once we move planning on upgrading the receiver. Also using a program called SRS Audio Sandbox that enhances the audio and presents a noticeable difference....

OVERCLOCKING: Maybe - As far as a cooling, would a standard case system and fan work ? SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Maybe 

 MONITOR RESOLUTION: This would also have to be included in my budget but I have also been thinking of upgrading my monitor for some time,...

price range? You can use this heiarchy to compare pricing between two cards to see which is a better deal. You can also see if an upgrade is worthwhile. I personally don't recommend upgrading unless the card you plan to upgrade to is at least three tiers higher...

on upgrading your monitor also, stick with your setup. If I upgraded the monitor to one with native resolution of 1920x1080, would it be worth it to upgrade from the 8800GTs in SLI to a GTX 285? Would I see much improvement to justify the upgrade? IMO, upgrade...

to my both problems thanks… The change in resolution from a 17" monitor to a 23" monitor will definitely put a lot more strain on your 9500GT when gaming. I recommend a graphics card upgrade to go with the monitor upgrade. The HD 5750 would give you...

Bottom line the reason I am thinking upgrade is I have a pretty decent processor 4400x2 Oc'd to 2.6, 2 gigs ram and good GPU but Im going to be upgrading the monitor from 19 to 24 soon. Thats a huge hike in resolution right there. I guess Ill ask it like...
