$300 to spend, what should i buy?

[ta8689]

I have decided im either getting another 7800 gt, a 19 inch lcd (vs my current 19 crt), or a raptor 150. I cant decide so give me some input.

 

[Ricemarine]

I say get an LCD, wait for G71 gpu's to hit the market on march 9th.

 

[ta8689]

I already have one 7800 gt

thats what i thought. I might sell my 7800 gt and buy a 7900 gtx with the money i have saved+what i get from 7800 gt, but lets see just how much btter it is. I mean.. if its priced up witht he 512 7800 gtx's and its no so much greater then heck, my 7800 gt chugs along alrite

With the big jump between a x1800 and a x1900, I'd say the wait for the 7900 series is worthwhile.

you could always sell the 7800GT and pay the rest and either get a X1900XT or a X1900XTX.

I dont particularly like ATI... dunno why. Ill wait for the 7900 i suppose. Sems like they are going to be priced quite nicely. I just dont know if the price will be worth the performance increase....

Price? probably not.

Grab an Audigy 2 + Z5500 combo for under $300?

Everything else in your setup looks nice, no speakers/sound listed though.

 

[ta8689]

ive got onboard 7.1 on the a8n-sli premium and i have a set of logitech x-530's. Good enough for me. I dont quite think its worth listing however :-/ I like this enough, i am looking for monitor or video card i think. Hard drive doesnt really help much other than loading times etc. The performance part of it is the GPU and CPU and Memory. All of those are good.. but the vid card can be better and would result in better fps. So what do you think

 

[royalk4]

Get the monitor. LCD's look way better and take up lost less room. Just make sure to get one that has low refresh rate

 

[t3h l337 n3wb]

Definitely the monitor. SLI is a waste of money.

 

[Crescent13]

Lol I have $325 to spend and I have the same choices as you (except of the LCD, I already have a SyncMaster 730B).

 

[Zap Brannigan]

LCD's are your friend. Walk towards the light.

 

[ta8689]

Thanks, now... any suggestions? im thinking those dell 19s with 8ms and 75hz... on ebay i can get one shipped for under 280.. new. what do you guys think (oh and its black... right now i have a white CRT.. it stand out like a sore thumb compared to the rest of my BLACK pc parts) I like black pc parts
