Hey guys, hows it goin.

So, Its that time again where the urge to splurge pops back up.

I have a budget of about 300 bucks(cad) give or take and was wondering on what to spend it on.

I use my comp to basically, watching movies, word processing, some casual gaming, music, downloading stuff etc. The games I play right now are COD4 and Tribes:Vengeance and will probably get MW2 even though I canceled my Pre-Order. What should I spend it on?

My list consists of(but is not limited to):
Radeon 5850
Kingston 120GB SSD
Another 22" monitor
A WC loop(for my cpu)

any suggestions?

Thanks again!

For forward looking future-proofing yourself - I'd say the 5850.....

For fun project, yielding better overclocks - go with a CPU waterloop!!! Definitely! Most of that investment will be transferrable to upgrades as you move forward (radiator, pump, rez....)

Those are my votes

Yea, I was thinking of the 5850 as well,cuz well, I don't think over 4.3 I'm gonna see any performance in games without a 5850.
