Hey guys, I am still on the fence on whether or not I should buy a few new parts for my rig.
So far, my current rig is in my sig, and I have a single Samsung 216BW monitor. I really want to grab 2 monitors for the extra screen real estate, and maybe a third for eyefinity in the future.
The monitors I am looking at are:
LG

The monitor is relatively cheap, has good reviews, and most people mention that ghosting is not a major issue at all.
Uses for the monitor will be:
- Schoolwork(reading PDF, video lectures, word, etc.) and surfing the web: 75%
- Gaming: 25%
Also, I am considering adding an SSD, but still am having trouble getting passed the cost per Gb.
What are y'alls thoughts on the OCZ Agility 3 60 Gb? It'd be my boot drive and maybe store a game or two that I play often.

I am also contemplating adding another 6870 for Crossfire also.

Would a new power supply be needed with these additions, and if not, how much headroom would my PSU have for adding HDDs in the future?
