Video Card or Monitor
OK, I'm almost in the standings/ranks of the other high-end system members.
My current system specs (see sig) are fine for me now, however I want to upgrade seeing as to how I will have a job when schoool year starts working on the pc's @ my school. I'm going for A+ Cert. and Business Licenses in two cities = $2500 ^^ Random info I want to know if I should get a monitor... or a new VC... Monitor (Widescreen): ViewSonic VX 2025WM 20.1" Dell UltraSharp 2007WFP 20.1" LG L203WT 20.1" BenQ FP202W 20.1" Video Card: Up to $300, any card that performs well. Since I currently only play BF2, CSS, Age of Empires 3, and GRAW, I'm thinking I don't need a new videocard for a while, but I've gotten a lot of flak from people saying that my videocard wasn't up to par and questions like "Why did you get that card?". Also there's no need to suggest SLi if that's what you were going to say because I don't have an SLi Capable board. Or... Forget the videocard alltogether and go for DX10, I was thinking about getting the X1950XTX but I'm not sure. Comments & Suggestions Please
