So there will be a significant reduction in motion blur even with AMD cards (which don't have lightboost)?

Is the VG248QE still worth the money if you run AMD video cards? (therefore not getting the lightboost/nvidia benefits)...? I run two 7870's in Crossfire, so I'm trying to decide between the VG248QE and the cheaper ASUS VS239H-P 23-Inch Full-HD LED IPS Monitor.

Damnnn, I really like that 144Hz Asus... I think you just ruined my budget Sir! Now, how to convince the wife that "it's only $100 more..." :eek:

I know that most of you despise cheap gear -- just as I used to -- but any help would be much appreciated... seriously. :)

Hey guys, just a quick request for opinions since I've been out of the game for a while. What's the best deal going right now for a 24" monitor (LED or cheap IPS) under $200 that I will use almost exclusively for gaming? Only requirements: -- 23-24" viewable -- VESA standard mount compatible...

Ok, the deals at MC were too good to pass up, so I bought everything! lol Here's the final build specs: CASE: $67.00 -- Antec Three Hundred Two CPU: $190.00 -- Intel Core i5-3570K GPU: $420.00 -- (2 in Xfire!) Powercoler HD7870 MYST 2GB (Tahiti LE) SSD: $150.00 -- SAMUNG 840 Series 250GB...

I do! Going there today to snag the 3570k for just $190 and to see what other parts they may have. :)

I just placed the order for the video card (Powercolor 7870 MYST 2GB -- aka "the HD7930", lol -- for $209)... so, after years of being away, it has officially begun again... w00t! :D

Unfortunately, the 520W PSU was re-purposed for my WHS rig a few years ago. I've been away from PC gaming for some time now, but I did build a great HTPC and 10TB WHS rig during that time. :) I think the only sticking point is the SSD. I'll keep my eye out for a decent deal on a 256GB in the...

I run older SSD's in my HTPC's, so I know the benefits... just not sure where to save a few more bucks to hit my $1000 mark (which is already $250 more than my wife approved... lol!). Regarding the video card: The 7870 Myst card will probably have a twin in CF before BF4 comes out, so I may...

"hoping" for 50-60fps on max/ultra at 1920x1200. :)

I might step down to the 128GB 840 PRO for $140, but is the extra speed worth it to save the $30 over the regular 840-series 250GB?

Is that TX750 PSU Crossfire-ready? I don't see that listed anywhere... or does it even matter if it's listed? Will it still have have the 4+4 connectors for two cards?

It's telling me that the SA20MAR code has expired. :(

oh... lol! I'm not seeing the 20% off in the cart -- it's still showing $239 for me? Is there a promo code for it?
