Ordered a new Gaming PC on- line (due to arive in 2 weeks) with the following stats: * CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-920 2.66 GHz 8M L3 Cache LGA1366 * Single Hard Drive (1TB (1TBx1) SATA-II 3.0Gb/s 16MB Cache 7200RPM HDD) * MOTHERBOARD: (3-Way SLI Support) Asus P6T Intel X58 Chipset SLI/CrossFireX Mainboard Triple-Channel DDR3/1600 SATA RAID w/ eSATA,GbLAN,USB2.0,IEEE1394a,&7.1Audio * 6GB (2GBx3) PC1333 DDR3 PC3 10666 Triple Channel Memory * Vista™ Home Premium w/ Service Pack 1 (64-bit Edition) * POWERSUPPLY: 1,000 Watts Power Supplies (AXP-1000R14HE) * SOUND: HIGH DEFINITION ON-BOARD 7.1 AUDIO * VIDEO: ATI Radeon HD 4890 1GB DDR5 PCI-Express Dual DVI-I & TVO And i now need a monitor to go with it. Any suggestions for around $200 US? The 2 Samsungs listed above (2333SW or 2343BWX) seem like decent choices. Thanks! Reply With Quote
Go for the 2343BWX has a higher resolution other than that they are both pretty much the same 5ms response time and 20000:1 contrast ratio etc BTW: have you bought the pc already? if not can i was gonna make some suggestions for some extra performance.
Thanks for the reply. As you mentioned, statistically the 2343BWX has an edge. I was wondering if anyone who uses a 16:9 ratio - felt the screen height was too small, and if the extra width caused stretching. I did buy it already and its being built by Cyberpowerpc. Xtreme XT model. Please share your suggested upgrade ideas as i always want to learn, and this PC is very upgradable. Thanks.
1.Hard drive for better performance: velociraptor harddrives or Solid state drives 2. your motherboard supports upto 1600mhz of tripple channel ram but you've installed only 1333mhz ram should upgrade to higher frequency. 3. install another radeon 4890 (crossfire) they are all good upgrades.
