I'm looking to buy a computer VERY soon.  My budget is around $2500.  My gaming is mostly online, with a max resolution of 1600 x 1200.  I MAY in the future purchase a 24" flat screen, but that is say a year off.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks!

This is what you should get, it can handle what ever you throw at it up to 1900 x 1200, after that depending on the game it can be OK or not enough, once you see you need more GPU power, all you have to do is add another 275 GTX and it would be able to handle what ever you throw at up to 2560 x 1600 , you got some cash left over, add a bit more and maybe you want to start looking for a monitor now

Thanks DST4ME.  That looks like it should do what I want, AND take care of if I move to something that needs more oomph.  I was wondering whether I wanted 1 or 2 video cards.  I asumed one, but now I know!  Big%20smile

Thanks DST4ME.  That answers questions for me I wasn't even sure if I really had.  Now I know I really only need one video card and if I move on to something that needs more ooomph I can just add another and the computer will be ready for it.  Thanks again!   Big%20smile

Hey Jyryki, give me a call when you are ready to order, I will see if I can't hook you up with a little something extra.
