It's never easy, is it?

Lousy weekend keeping my packages away

Heh. I'm also pissed you even posted that link in some thread. I had my purchase practically finalized. *shakes fist*

What were you planning before?

Definitely go with choice 2. A 3800+ will not bottleneck an X1900XT since most games now are GPU bound. The monitor won't get outdated as fast as the internals, so it's a good investment to go with a nice monitor. An X1900XT on a 17" LCD would be such a waste. You don't need a monitor with like 4ms response time at all. I'm on a monitor with 16ms response, and it's perfectly fine. No ghosting or anything on FPS games. Get something that supports 1600x1200 or greater. Maybe just add another gig of RAM to make 2GB, and you'll be good to go. The EPoX 9nPA+ Ultra is a great $100ish mobo that overclocks almost as well as the DFI Lanparty Ultra-D.

Thanks, I'll look into the EPOX, looks like a great board.

Dell 2005fpw, or a nicer 19" 4:3/5:4 LCD. I'm still not sure.

Go with the samsung 940b if you are getting a 19" LCD. Here is a good review and a TON of ppl posting you enjoy this monitor.

940B review

19" = 1280x1024 = Meh

Definitely don't need an X1900 for that.

 

[Tostada]

Why are so many people suggesting a 19" LCD? How is that much of an upgrade? He's already got a 17" LCD that does 1280x1024.
