Do you see this as being a serious problem? I do plan on upgrading my video card eventually and would love a 24" screen which as far as i can tell do not come in any resolution lower then 1920 x 1080

I wont mind if the graphics aren't 100% flawless for right now just as long as the games are playable and look halfway decent.

Yeahp it will be just fine....but for the sol purpose of gaming 16xx/1xxx is best on the wallet...you should be able to run games at max to med....thats cod and mirrors edge titles...farcry 2...not crysis...crap game anyways...

Have you considered buying an ATI card such as the 4850/4770? That would leave the option of crossfire open should you ever want to add a second card.

 

[smithereen]

I second that.

DAMN... looks AWESOME so far , only thing is I suggest you get a REALLY nice video card or SLI 2 nice cards to make up for the rest of the awesomeness.
