Its been good but after 6 years its time

I beleive I will wait for the q6600. I will stay with one good card probably not the best on the market but the best value of the higher end. As far as the monitor I definately want a nice one. I can spend 600 for a monitor but not much more. May be will save a few bucks when july comes around.
