Anyone please? How would this monitor hold up: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0077L2LAC/ref=s9_simh_gw_p147_d0_i1?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=0B8R43F3DXN3ST3F74CR&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=317828027&pf_rd_i=468294

Hey, I've been looking for a new monitor to replace my current 21" LG TV (1680x1050 resolution) and am not sure what to get? I would like it to be between 22 and 24 inches, as well as all the stuff like 1080p, good response time and colours etc. I do play games such as Battlefield 3 and...

Definitely pick the 7850 over the 6950.

In gaming you would notice hardly a difference.

May I ask the model of the PSU and how old it is? Also, you should think about getting a cooler such as a Corsair H60.

Good luck :)

Looks fine, but you should upgrade the processor to a i5 3570k and grab a Z77 motherboard such as the Gigabyte Z77-D3H. You could also save a few quid by getting this power supply instead...

Haha I did the same thing :D I'd say by then nearly everything listed above and possibly a GTX 660 or a GTX 660ti instead of the 7850 would be your best bet.

Depends on the sort of games you want to play. If you wanted to wait 2-3 weeks, the GTX 660 should be released and has will perform better than a GTX 570 or a 7850 and will cost around £200 supposedly.

What he said ^

I still have the stock cooler for my i5 3570k so I haven't bothered overclocking that. But I did manage to overclock my Sapphire 7850 to 1000Core/1300Memory (Default is 860 Core/1200Memory). If I tried to max out the sliders in MSI Afterburner (1050Core/1450Memory) then my system did crash, but...

Ok thanks a lot.

Ok, I will be gaming on it (e.g. BF3) but should this monitor be ok for that? I also do a bit of amateur Photoshopping.
