Dell has a deal on 19" monitors for $98. What if I run three monitors like I see people doing.

  I have this card http://www.bfgtech.com/bfgr96512gtoce.aspx
• High-definition gaming support with resolutions up to 2560x1600

eeek, it'll work, but you'd be right on the edge to be running games at highest settings and pushing a resolution of 1920x1080.

nah it will work

[rip|buzinator]

it'll be borderline with the 9600 ... you'll be able to set the res but you may have to tone down some of the bells and whistles to keep a steady frame rate.

Dude I'm gonna tell you right now that the graphics card you have WILL display at those resolutions but not with any eyecandy or AA. You may have to sacrifice a high setting or 2. In fact having only 512mb will limit you to play on high settings and 2xAA @ 1650x1080 or 1600x1200. You need a 1 gb card to run games flawlessly at 1900x1200 or higher. The 9600GT will run video at those resolutions pretty well just not 3d intensive games. There is a KDS 26" monitor on newegg.com with all the hookups you need. HDMI, DVI and VGA. It's really nice and has a sturdy METAL stand. Most of the reviews were favorable of this monitor and at 279.99 (Item #:N82E16824155056) its a steal!. Tigerdirect has a 28" I-INC that is OWNED BY HANNS G!! 299.99 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3326540&CatId=3774. Look at it its the SAME MODEL as the HANNS G except its all black LOL!! Good LUCK!!

Oh yeah if I was you I would upgrade to either a 1gb 4850 for 119.99 (Item#:N82E16814161275 ) or a 9800gt at 129.99 + free shipping (Item#:N82E16814143185 )

I went ahead and pulled the trigger and ordered the 28" Hanns-g this morning. I was looking for size so it was the best bang for the buck.

The I-INC would have saved you some money. It's made by Hanns G but the monitor you ordered for the price is STILL a GOOD DEAL. Enjoy your new monitor! I am probably gonna get one too so let me know if yours was received without dead or stuck pixels. I need one for my 360.
