Pun intended
Okay first of all i would like to give a thanks in advance for reading my thread and helping me out.
Now to the point i am building a new computer because mine current one is a little outdated.
I was thinking of going AMD based but Intel is an option. I have an $840 budget ( minus the video card, i would like to keep my recently purchased HD 3870) and crossfire is an option. I do need a new monitor because my 15 inch LCD is not cutting it anymore.
