Hey guy, I just got me a kick arse Lcd for christmas. Its the 19" ViewSonic VX924 . I was just wondering if i should get a new power supply, seemings how i have 2 monitors running now, and the psu i have now is only 100W. If so i was looking at getting the Ultra 500W.
I am also looking at getting this video card: eVGA GeForce 7800 GT .

Are these good choices? Whatta ya think?
 
First off, I'm getting that exact monitor. How do you like it?

Second, monitors get there power from an external AC power source, i.e., your wall. No need for new PSU for that reason. However, 100 W isnt going to power your rig.

That card is very nice, but I would get an enermax liberty instead of that PSU.

Well, my videocard is crap so its hard to say, but its crazy fast, i got another one ordered and im going to have 2 wallmounted :D
 
100W would be very hard pressed (I'd say almost impossible) to run the computer you're using now (assuming it's your sig).

1. You should get a better PSU period
2. The monitors wont cause a noticeable power drain on the PSU
