Hello Everyone!

Soo I have some money in my pocket from selling old parts and such and it’s burning a hole.. I plan on buying some new toys but I need your help in picking what would be smart to get

As they say..

"A fool and his money are soon parted."

I really would like to get..
A new 500 series card [sm=001_tt1.gif]
A new monitor!... I currently have a 22 inch dell 1680x 1050 [&:]
And a custom water cooling set up? [sm=001_tt2.gif]


A new monitor would be great .. but I’m not sure how I should prioritize it. My current monitor is nice but I totally want something 1920x1080. So I have two options..

Option A: An Asus 27 inch 1920x1080 LED Monitor for about 300 bucks

Option B: Or a 24 Inch 1920X1080 LED that would save me about 100 bucks

I know that with the bigger monitor, one would be able to see the pixels easier? But really would I notice the 11% difference? And also the 27 inch would be a nice Tv in college..
Additionally I do have a rather large L shaped Glass desk that would fit the 27 inch but i would probably move it back because of how large it is..

Also I am also planning on upgrading my graphics card to something in the 500 series,

So all in all, Im wondering what to get? THANKS!

You may want to go to a local retailer and compare some 24s to 27s and see what you like. I just got a 27" LED and like it a lot, although some people will say that 1920x1080 isn't enough for a 27. Personally I would say get the 27.
