I'm looking to buy a cheap monitor for my system. I am willing to spend up to $200, but the cheaper the better as long as it still has decent quality. Here are a couple I have been looking at: ASUS VH242H Black 23.6" 5ms HDMI Full 1080P Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 1000:1 (ASCR 20000:1)...

Thanks for the heads up. Is there a way to tell if it's the newer or older model? If it's the newer model I'm thinking about going with this just to be safe: Antec TruePower New TP-650 650W Continuous Power ATX12V V2.3 / EPS12V V2.91 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active...

Thanks everyone. I'm gonna go with the 1GB GTX 460. I'll keep my eye out for deals on the other components for the next couple of days.

How about this: mobo + ram: EVGA P55 SLI 132-LF-E655-KR + CORSAIR XMS3 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.469822 PSU: CORSAIR CMPSU-650TX 650W http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139005 GPU: EVGA...

Thanks! I think I'll try to buy an SLI board. Are there any motherboard brands I should try to stay away from, or are there any that are especially good? Also is it worth the extra ~$50 to go with the GTX 460 over the HD 5770? Any more suggestions are appreciated.

I think I could fit the GTX460 into my budget. I added a couple of graphics cards and other components to my post. I'm still not sure about the mobo.
