Hi everyone. I am currently assembelig my new PC so I need some advices, please.

1. MOTHERBOARD: I still have not decide wheter to buy a board with/without CrossFire. Is it worth the money? If not, then Gigabyte MA69G-S3H. Your suggestions for CF mode. PRICE: cca 100-150 Euros

2. GRAPHIC CARD: Radeon x1950 Pro or GT version, both 256 MB. Would it be a better solution to buy a cheaper GT and than for the money I save buy another 1GB DDR2?

3. MONITOR: LCD 17, 4:3 of course. I would like that it could be rotated up/down. PRICE cca 200-230 Euros. What do you think about LG LCD L1753TR, 000:1, DVI

Thank you!
 
Seem that I should have posted the whole configuration. Anyway, 1 or 2 GB RAM, don`t know, expansions are always a possibility. I am not intrested in OC. HSF + TP - have no idea what is this. Probably will stay on XP for a while.
 
HSF = Heatsink + Fan
TP = Thermal Paste

I prefer an 35CFM+ for non overclockers and 45+ CFM for overclocking. More CFM = Better cooling = longer CPU life.

Thermal paste, I prefer Arctic Silver 5 High Density Thermal Compound

Well the mobo really depends on your, wether or not your going to use crossfire. The GFX.. I dunno... whichever one performs better + reviews. I have never experienced much with LG, but if the reviews aer good and theres a fair warranty + return policy go for it.
