[ShadowFold]

I am gonna get a new monitor,

Its a 21.5'' Acer that does 1920x1080.. Pretty nice sounding to me.

Then I am gonna get another 4850 and a new set of ram(hate these tracers)
I like this PowerColor 4850, it has heatsinks on all the good stuff and looks like a nice cooler and its only 154$

And this Corsair XMS kit looks nice. I always liked Corsair so I am gonna give them another shot.

The only thing I am concerned about is my power supply. Its got two 22a +12v rails. I am pretty sure its enough but I want to play it safe so if I have enough money after all of this I am gonna get this psu

I don't anything non-modular anymore.. I built my friends rig with this psu and its working great and I love the modular..

What kind of RAM? It all looks pretty good to me. That is a pretty great monitor, if I do say so myself. I'm liking the SAMSUNG 2443BWX 24", myself, but definitely a good looking monitor.

Monitor is way outta my budget lol

This is the kit tho

1920x1080 at that size is going to look sick!

Heard good things about those sticks. 1080p is standard. I heard that monitor companies are going to start going 1080p as standard. Anyone heard about that? That monitor will look sick, though. GL

I haven't heard anything like that. Most Widescreen computer monitors are a 16:10 ratio. The Acer listed above is 16:9 ratio much like any LCD/Plasma television. It wouldn't be a bad move really as it would adopt a standard.

My mom is gonna get my old monitor(shes using a REALLY old 15'' LCD with lines running down it so a 19'' wide would be really good ) I am gonna get my dad a razer deathadder and my gf a netbook.

 

[Franklinwallbrown]

How generous of you to give your mother your old monitor...

 

[ShadowFold]

Been thinking.. Should I go crossfire or should I sell my 4850 and get a single 4870?

 

[LittleLizard]

2 4850 beat a single gtx 280 and that beats a single 4870, so go crossfire

I take your Tracers.

 

[ShadowFold]

I take your Tracers.

[ShadowFold]

I wont sell you my Micron D9 set because one of them died for no reason and the other has been giving me shit recently so I took it out but I have some single sided one still. PM me if you really want them tho!

That sucks.

 

[ShadowFold]

The single sided are fine they just don't do 1066mhz, only 800.

Oh, i have no problem with that.(since i dont OC)

 

[CDdude55]

But mind you i have no cash for shipping.(currently have no job )

All i can offer is address.

 

[ShadowFold]

Don't worry about shipping. I wont be selling them until xmas tho when I get my new set.
