Still running my GTX 570. Handles every game - maybe not on highest settings though. Planning an upgrade to a 980 and an Asus Swift or Acer equivalent, so will need a better card to run 1440 soon.
The BFG website has the 295 for a trade up upgrade of $499. Paid $320 for my 280 in December, so the upgrade would be for ~$180.
Buying a second 280 right now is ~$300, meaning a $100 difference. I'm leaning towards waiting for price drops on the 280 and buying a second one for sli versus...
My kids need a new PC and that means hand me downs and a new buying opportunity for yours truly...
I have a Sony P234B S-IPS monitor from 2 years+ back that I've been extremely happy with in terms of PQ and input lag for gaming, which WSGF and HOCP helped me with tremendously when I selected...

I'm guessing my LCD will arrive on Monday, and I'll give a full account to the board, since there's not a ton of material on the Sony (compared to the HP, at least). This will be my first LCD so I will primarily be comparing it to my Hitachi Superscan Elite 751, which is a high end 19" CRT; I...

I don't have any problems with the Dell, but I've done hours of research and found the HP/Sony screens have fewer reports of people not liking them due to ghosting than the Dell.
Some people report no problems with the Dell's, and I'm sure they're good screens, but the frequency of happiness...
I was all set on getting an HP L2335 if/when the new Dells weren't found to be great performers again, but ran into someone who could get me a P234 for $700 brand new (he's a dealer).
At that price I'm not waiting for the Dell anymore.
I'll let you know what I find, but you should check...
After way too much reading of this board and others, I've decided on the following components, with intent to OC and move to SLI eventually. Any advice or changes would would be appreciated. I have to say, if you had only one board to read, this would be the one by far...
I'm toying with building another PC and giving my current one to my wife.
My current rig is a 754 3000+ 1 GB memory and x800xtPE with a raid 0 7200 rpm setup. It still runs everything well enough, but since I need to get a new PC anyway (for her), my question is, wait until M2 for a better...
I'm currently running a 1.1 Athlon w/640MB ram and a 9600xt ATI. I OC to 1.3ish and I'm finally ready to upgrade. I've always waiting for big major upgrades, but I'm thinking otherwise this time. Why spend $2k at once and have a system that's top of the line for 6 minutes, overpay for it and...
