Please advise for as close to 1000$ possible gaming rig

I would have liked to, but that would have made my old PC unsellable. I hope to get 250-300$ for it.

Then what is the difference between this one and UD3 and UD4? What do I sacrifice going with D3H? Also, let's say that I am willing to sacrifice the 6950 (scen #3), what is my best alternative considering my resolution? An older gen card (used)? Thanks for the good suggestion!

A posteriori, you are absolutely right. However, the choice of one big screen over three was a mater of desk real estate. 27" was the best I could manage.

I did not say that I was rational :-) I wanted to know what the hype of IPS was all about. And my monitors tend to last several builds. I know it's no excuse, though.

The only reason for the Visiontek is that it is the only reference card that I could find and it has a high probability to unlock into a 6970. Thanks for the guidelines about the power supply. Is there any quality PS in that range that you don't pay for the brand? The price I found for the...

What to do with Pentium II 233mhz MMX?

I'm interested too to know what to do with old computers. I have a PII 350MHz w/ 384MB RAM. With those ideas of using it as router or NAS, how would an old PC compare in terms of power consumption with dedicated appliances? Would the potentially increased power consumption defeat the purpose...

CANADA - Best Internet Computer Stores ??

Those stores are surely good, but the first place to look when searching a good price for a piece of hardware is a price search engine. In Canada, I use 4 of them: http://www.pricenetwork.ca/ http://www.pricegrabber.ca/ http://www.infoprix.ca/ (french) http://www.shopbot.ca/ They don't...

ATI 9700 Pro AGP - Upgrade?

Why bother with a 3dmark score if you can run your favorite games with satisfaction? Sure you run into extreme situations like in the village, but otherwise, I'm wondering if it is really worth 250$ to improve those situations. By the way, I have the same problem with my 6600GT in Call of...
