    Could you ever go back to using a CRT Monitor?

    I just used one not too long ago on an old computer I have and it wasn't too bad. I only used it for about 20 minutes though and I can bet that extended use would strain my virgin eyes.

    Quadro 5000 vs A Gaming Card

    Not wasted on you. You'll be able to sell it slightly cheaper to someone who needs it and get some great GPU's for gaming in return! I just hope you're able to sell it reasonably soon, I can't imagine there's a huge market for such a card... Good luck. :good:

    Dual GTX 570's vs GTX 580

    Like jonnyp said, just buying the single 580 will leave you a better upgrade path in the future, but 570's in SLI will outperform a single 580 by quite a bit. http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/307?vs=305

    I don't know anything about Computers

    That NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 that you have would get you just enough GPU power to meet the minimum requirements for that game. You'll probably be running the game at very low settings however. Removing the card from your old system and installing it in the new one is pretty simple...

    The Video processing requirements for that game are as follows: ATI X1600 or NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT or higher graphics card with 128 MB of Video RAM The PC you are looking at purchasing has Intel integrated graphics which means it does not meet the requirements to play that game (integrated...

    The first PC game I really played and got into was Diablo II. My God did I spend a lot of time playing this game and if I had the time nowadays like I did back then I would still be playing it! Definitely one of the all time classic PC games that has remained relevant for many years and will...

    Computer + Projector = Good?

    Do you have a home theater style room that you'll be playing this in? If so, I am quite jealous! Skyrim would be an awesome game to play on a projector screen that size. Like some of the other posters have said, the 4850 is a couple generations behind so if it is pretty choppy you can always...
