Your link to your monitor is bad, but whether you can use it with your new rig depends on whether you're satisfied with its performance and whether it's fast enough to provide the performance you want from it.

I'd be more concerned that a 450 watt supply may not be up to powering a GTX 560 1GB card because I've read a couple of reviews for these cards that recommend at least a 550 watt supply, and even that may not be enough depending on whatever other power hungry devices you intend to add, now or later.

Also, many, if not all, of these cards require two 6-pin PCI-E power connectors so be sure your PSU provides them.

Hope that helps.

Here's a working link: http://www.gtsonline.co.uk/special_clip_image001.jpg


And as Harvey said, according to Nvidia's site for the reference card design, the GTX 560 has a recommended minimum power need of 450watts (Note the 560 Ti has a listing of a minimum of 500watts and a max of 550watts).

In regards to your current monitor, if it works well enough for you for gaming, there's no need to change it. If however it's broken or not performing to your standards, there are plenty of TN panel monitors that can be had for sub $200.

If you could tell us what games you'd like to be able to play and at what quality settings, we'll be able to help you more in regards to what parts to pick for your budget. I'd recommend visiting this thread in regards as to what you should tell us : http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=80121

And I'd recommend you visiting this thread as a starting ground for perhaps looking at parts (Many of these builds come in just under ~1000 and is a good starting ground): http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2192841

Okay so my PC will be used for games only,maybe watching some HQ movies aswell.I plan to play Diablo 3 on high if possible(cause budget),not sure about other games nothing planned but i expect to play incoming games these years.Hopefully all games in the next few years.As i said budget is around 800$,wouldnt go any higher really.Im buying parts in Croatia.Not planing to use anything i have currently.I rather wouldnt do clocking cause it is not reliable.Resolution will be 1280 by 1024 pixeles.

As arnoc suggested, please see the forum thread:

PC builders, when asking for input on YOUR projects Please Tell us...

Copy the questions and your answers to this thread. That will help us to give you more informed answers.

From what you learn, you can tell us which parts you can actually buy in Croatia and their costs, and we can try to help you optimize a system at your price.

Good luck.

I'd say an XFX 450W (assuming the Core series) will be fine with a GTX 560.
