I am stuck with a £400 budget on what to buy. Preferably my budget would be more towards £300 so I can justify buying a Corsair 650d case.
My problem is, I am really indecisive. Well, let's get to my computer specifications first:
i5 2500 3.3ghz
ASUS 670 TOP Edition 2GB
4GB RAM
Currently, I own a mediocre Cibox 22" 16:10 monitor which has done me well over the years. I now own a 120cm wide desk that comes out 80cm.
I have two options for what I want:
FIRSTLY: There's a deal going on until August - Samsung S23A350H 23" Widescreen LED Monitor - Glossy Black @ £101.99 inc VAT
I was thinking that I could buy three of these? I just own an overclocked 670, so I would not be using triple monitors for BF3, Skyrim, etc. This would be purely for simulation racing (iRacing, rFactor 2), F1 2011 and desktop use.
The problem here is, owning a 120cm wide desk, would this even fit?
SECONDLY: I could buy a Dell U2312 monitor, then buy one of the Samsung's above to sit beside it. I have had two monitors before and it was great. However, three would be great for racing games.
THIRDLY: I am tempted by this Yamakasi Catleap which seems an incredible deal. However with this 670 OC, I wouldn't be pushing the maxed out resolution on BF3, etc, and will just be using 1080p. However, other games that allow me to use 1440p I will take advantage of. The only problem I have is I prefer matte over glossy monitors.. I really dislike the reflection on a screen!
So that's that, if someone can help a struggling indecisive customer, thanks!
Any questions, I will answer!
