Okay. I guess 30" monitors need all the horsepower they can get. Has anyone seen a better deal on a GTX 280 than this?

Thanks everyone for your feedback. Based on suggestions and more reading, I'm now looking at: CPU: Core i7 920 2.66GHz…$279.00 (will use stock heat sink) Mobo: GIGABYTE GA-EX58-UD4P…$225.00 PSU: CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W…$100.00 RAM: G.SKILL 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3...

I'd like to have the OS on the fastest drive I can find without going to a SSD. (still too pricey.) Any drives out there much faster than that WD 640?

Less heat is always good. Only six bucks more, I may go with those. Ha, I foolishly assumed that since it was a 10,000 RPM drive it had to be faster. In that case, maybe I'll get two of the Caviars instead. Sounds good, thanks.

I'm getting ready to put a new system together, and wanted some feedback on some parts I'm considering. My current system (built 2 1/2 years ago) is an E6600. At this point, I can't see spending any more money on the LGA775 chipset. The Q & A: 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming...

Thanks for the reply...in looking at the specs between the 2 cards (GTX 275 vs. 285) I'm not sure that the extra frames would be worth the extra $100.00. I can get the 275 for ~$250, while the 285 is ~$350. I don't think that I could go SLI unfortunately, since I already have 2 graphics cards...

A little over 2 years ago, I built this system: Motherboard: Asus P5B-Deluxe CPU: Core 2 Duo E6600 RAM: 4GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Graphics: Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS 640 MB It's been a great system, but I recently bought the Dell 3008 WFP 30" monitor, and I want to beef things...

First, I wanted to thank people here for answering my questions when I was looking at 30" monitors. I went with the Dell, and posted a review with photos here: http://www.cybergooch.com/tutorials/pages/dell_3008wfp.htm If you check it out, please let me know if I posted any incorrect...

Is there a 30" HP monitor other than the LP3065? It doesn't look like it has a scaler, and only has DVI inputs. It's less expensive, but I think I'd rather have those other inputs. Will probably upgrade my graphics card then, thanks.

Greetings all, new user here. I'm getting ready to buy a larger monitor, either a 27" or a 30". I'm in the middle of researching what's out there, and had some questions about resolutions and such, in order to decide which way to go. My needs: I spend most of my day doing graphics in...
