MONITOR RESOLUTION: I currently have a Samsung SyncMaster 225bw which has a max resolution of 1680 x 1050 / 60.0 Hz (url: http://reviews.cnet.com/lcd-monitors/samsung-syncmaster-225bw-black/4507-3174_7-32081069.html?tag=mncolBtm;rnav)
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I was wondering if I could get some opinions on the following parts below. I would like to be able to run all current games at max graphics if possible. Also any advise if paying extra for a 10,000 rpm hard drive is worth buying, for what I am using my computer for.
