What should I upgrade next? - Page 2

no no no! oh dear frown.gif no acer. ever!

and no 21.5 inchers either....

my god boy have you never gamed at 1920? u never go back

im looking at these - http://www.amazon.co.uk/LG-IPS234V-PN-AEK-inch-Screen-Monitor/dp/B008F7GW2K/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1352375954&sr=1-1

I want ips for better colours for design but regardless these are nice monitors for the price!

and why two? if u have spare cash, get three! three is the sweet spot ( actually proven that 3 is the height of productivity)

if data security is irrelevant then yeah, raid 0 some ssds, ebuyer are always good for nice cheap deals and great returns etc.

I definitely think the monitors and ssd are your upgrade then. Theres just not much point upgrading ur gfx or cpu or even ram ( look at benchmarks, ram still doesnt make much difference over 1333.

I would say get some 1920 monitors, then get some better graphics capability, get dual gfx setup, even with a cheaper secondary and get three or four monitors on some nice stands smile.gif then it would be swish.

what kind of peripherals are you using? got a nice mouse?

also what games do you play? maybe we could hookup on something wink.gif

Oh gosh I don't think I would. A good Idea but I couldn't deal with more than two monitors and the only reason I can do two monitors is because I use two on a daily basis at work however I never liked it at first.

Those monitors look great especially for the price. Also I use a Microsoft sidewinder x6 and A Rat 5 mouse I want to change the mouse because of how small it is I have really big hands but I'm not sure what to go for I'm not much of a Razer guy because of the price. Also I play loads of games take a look at my Steam in my profile maybe we could hook up for a game or more also I do have Battlefield 3 on Origin but I'm not the best FPS player I prefer my Strategies.

I would get an SSD personally. No need to RAID with them since one is superfast already, you wouldn't notice the difference.

Yeah the SSD'S will happen and perhaps water cooling to make everything even cooler.
