I'm just now gathering my list of components. I will be building a new PC (~$1,100 for everything) and mostly will be playing Warhammer Online with it.
Since I'm on a budget, I'm looking for the best GPU/Monitor "bang for your buck". I have found this http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16824236027 for the monitor and it looks pretty good IMO. The res is at 1440x900 so I'm assuming that'll be fine (I've always worked on laptops so 19" is a nice increase for me).
Now, onto the the GPU... after doing some research, the single HD 4850 seems to be a great deal but I'm wondering if I should put in the extra $ for a HD 4870. I'm new to this but from my understanding the HD 4870 is better for large monitors/high rez -- does my 1440x900 19" count as "high rez" in terms of gaming? Warhammer Online has some huge RvR so there are moments with 100+ people around fighting. I want to be able to play through this smoothly so I'm curious as to whether the HD 4850 will be enough.
Any input/advice/suggestions are much appreciated. If you think there is a better GPU/Monitor "bang for your buck" out there then please point me in the right direction. BUT, remember I'm on a budget.
Thanks!
