Hi Zuesman22.....   Welcome to the forums.     You didn't mention the monitor size/resolution you play on, but for a 23" 1920x1080 monitor or less the gtx 670 should have no problem.     

Good luck.

Grab the free t-shirt.

Thanks for the welcome. I am looking into getting a 27" monitor that would be 1920x1080 but for now it would be running on a 23" 1680x1050

Welcome to the DS forums Zeusman22. I agree with Bprat on his thoughts, that gtx 670 should be enough for the 23" monitor.

Good luck on your choices and DS is the best PC builder I have found.
