I want to get a 2560x1440 IPS monitor. I will also use my current monitor Asus VS247H http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236174 as a secondary misc. monitor.
Do I need to upgrade anything to handle current gen games? I am not sure whether or not RAM would be affected. Also, I could get a 2nd 7970 as there are a ton of sales on them.
Would I better of with just getting 23"/24" 1920x1200 IPS monitor?
Thanks,
BeeGeePee
