Yeah I think that I'll get that monitor.

Maybe these speakers

Maybe http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16824254015?
That monitor looks alright...

Don't get that, for $10 more you get something MUCH better:

1680 x 1050 FTW.

EDIT: Oh. You're looking for response time over resolution. I'd still get the above monitor over the one salamance posted anyday.

And I would recommend getting a better mouse (like razer diamondback or logitech G5) over getting the G15. That's going to help your gaming much more than marcos and the LCD screen.

Or better, get a regular mouse/keyboard and invest that extra money into a better graphics card.

 

[Mewgia]

5MS is fine, i will seriously consider that monitor (It's actually cheaper after a MIR)

And I am going to get one of those types of mice *and* a G15. The reason I want a nice keyboard and mouse is that using normal, cheap stuff for gaming doesn't really suit my needs for various reasons.
I have heard that DX10.1 is coming out soon and I don't know if you can use a DX10 card of today for a game that uses DX10.1...but if it will still work I may take your advice and buy the nice mouse and keyboard later using the saved money for a ~180-200 Graphics card.

PCP, 1/6th of the title is the word "gaming." Why are you posting what you have if it's not for gaming?

because i fucking felt like it?

 

[Mewgia]

I guess that that's an acceptable answer

 

[kellyan95]

Just ignore him.

Seeing the first post, that PSU is more than you need. You could get a cheaper one for that system. However, it most likely WILL power 9000 series cards

Well if you buy a 1600x1000 monitor, just be warned that games will lag at a higher resolution as opposed to a 1440x900, especially with a 8600GT. You can turn game resolution down, but it will look like shit.

 

[ZeWarrior]

Not necessarily linkiboy^ On games a downscaled Resolution can still look great.

Yeah, but in the long run, the larger resolution monitor won't get outdated as quick. Besides, once he gets a 9 or 10 series Nvidia card or the equivalent ATI, he'll be able to run at high resolutions on the monitor.

Not to mention the better monitor is actually cheaper.

Why the GBA if were talking about PCs?^
