Need advice on a system!

Also, Will Nvidia's Fermi have DX11 and when will it be released to Digital Storm? Will Fermi be better than ATI's current cards?

Wait, is 6000 not enough? I thought that was a lot of money for a computer?

Resolution: 2560 x 1600

I would like the Best air cooling Digital Storm has

Is there any more questions? Feel free to ask!

lol guess the luxury turned out to be the FASS, I guess the luxury model should have higher ram and hailstorm too.

1. FASS is the 2TB 64MB cache HDD, its pretty quick and great for a drive as file storage.

2. My pleasure

3.

a. you can use a tv as monitor tho I'm not sure how well that would be, tvs don't make the best monitor IMO.

b. if you want a good ips monitor then check out Dell UltraSharp U2410 for a 24" and UltraSharp 3008WFP.

the hanns is an ok monitor but its not an ips panel, its tn panel.

c. any monitor can be used as a tv and vise versa, new ones of course. all hdmi does is carry sound, as far as image goes dvi and hdmi are the same, and one does not have hdmi you just convert the dvi to hdmi via an adapter.

d. ask as many questions as you like.

if you want my advise, go with the second build and put the rest toward a good 30" monitor, if you gonna endup with a smaller monitor then 30", then you will not need the second 5870, cause 1 x 5870 is all you need for 1900 x 1200.

My pleasure

I'm assuming its for gaming first and tv second:

Dell UltraSharp U2410 (24")

UltraSharp 3008WFP 30-inch Widescreen Flat Panel Monitor with Height Adjustable Stand

UltraSharp 3007WFP-HC 30-inch WideScreen Flat Panel Monitor (older version of above 3008)

you can also checkout newegg for nec and planar, you will have to filter thru those and nec will be more expensive, IMO the dell monitors are good monitors.

hey DST4ME, is this a good, quality 2560x1600 30 inch monitor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824005115&cm_re=2560x1600-_-24-005-115-_-Product

Can it be used as a TV as well?
