    newbie looking for monitor advice!

    The ASUS VS24AH-P and Dell U2412 are both 1920x1200, where the rest are 1920x1080. For gaming I don't think that really tends to matter as much (still nice to have!), but for pretty much everything else, the 120 extra vertical pixels are well worth it. I have the U2412 (actually 3 of them)...

    New GAMING PC Build Advice

    ATI is, at this point, mostly habit for me. (Also, I run 3 monitors which had been ATI only until the last year or so). In all honesty, the GTX 760 for a similar price is as good or better than the 7950 in most respects. Monitors: I've had a Samsung like this...

    Are there ever any deals on EA PC DLC?

    Unfortunately, DLC sales are somewhere between "super-rare" and "never" on Origin. (Although that trend may be changing since there is _some_ DLC on sale right now, although not for NFSMW.)

    Dell U2412M for coding/gaming

    It's a great monitor, works fine for gaming. I've played Skyrim, Mass Effect 2 and 3, Dirt 3, and many other games without any problems.

    [H]ardOCP & ASUS GeForce GTX 660Ti DirectCU II Giveaway

    I'm all in for a cooler, quieter, more power efficient video card. Industry-leading game compatibility is a must, and PhysX is a definite bonus.
