How does this look so far? I'm not sure if I want to buy a monitor for this rig. I have a 19" Samsung LCD that I could use buy it's only 1440x900. I was thinking it would be a waste to run games at a low resolution with this rig. If I bought a LCD I would learn towards this Asus http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16824236053.
If I don't get a monitor, I might use the money to upgrade to a PhII X4 955 and maybe up the graphics card.
Thanks in advance
