I'm looking to upgrade my system and i have $500 to spend. I'm running a Q6600 at 3.2ghz with 4gb of ram and an 8800gts 320mb gpu. My monitor is a Samsung 204b 20.1 inch 1600 x 1200 resolution. I would like to get a new gpu and monitor. What can I get for $500?
 
Either GTX 260 216 or 4870 1GB can had for about $180 and I personally would get Acer X223H 23" 1080p for $190.
 
Ok, I remember your thread before the outage:
- Get a new PSU. That Rosewill PSU is crap and is NOT trustworthy enough for any kind of system upgrade. I recommend this PSU:
$68 - BFG Tech LS-550 550W PSU

- Why do you need a new monitor? Do you want a higher resolution or something?
