Not worth the extra money, IMO.

that a legit LCD monitor?

And will this be 100% what is needed for the comp to run? As in what was listed earlier... with the video card change...

The monitor looks fine, but its a widescreen. That is 100% what you need to run the computer, you can always change around peripherals (keyboard, mouse, etc.) if you want. Also consider Praetors $1500 gaming steup in computer specs 101.

btw you dont need 500$ video card to run games, i think its a waist... i got geforce 6800 and it runs everything on full with athlon x2 4400 cpu... i would get this card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130281 and call it a day

First off, no need to double post, there's and edit button for a reason. Second: A. The extra cache of the 4400+ makes little if no difference in gaming and is not worth the price premium, and B. The X1900XT will outperform a 7900GT and the total cost wont be any more if you stick with a 4200+.

there's edit button ? wow you so smart ... NOT

maybe he will do more then gaming, how do you know... sure it will outperform in games, but your eyes will not see any difference... but you will see the difference when you do some heavy work on your cpu

If you think your so smart, then why didnt you use it?

And the x1900XT is 512MB unlike some 7900GT's.

Not getting into a big arguement, even CPU intensive programs will see almost no improvement with the extra cache. I'm just saying that $103 extra for 512 kb of extra cache just isnt worth it for the price premium with his budget, and should be put to use in another area of the computer
