$300 - Dell U2412M

ASUS VG23AH if you don't wear glasses or glasses with any sort of filters/polarizers. It might be IPS/PLS but it has the best 60hz performance of ANY monitor on the market and can be driven to run at 72hz or 75hz with this program and these settings. Go for the Dell if you want 16:10 and super crisp colors.

$250-400 Samsung S23A700/750D

120hz monitors can be hard to find right now, possibly due to an upcoming refresh from ASUS and Samsung. 700D has dual link DVI only for 120Hz, 750D has displayport only. BenQ has the worst colors of the three, but a matte screen and a great stand.

$800 - Viewsonic VP2770-LED

Crossover is available through Ebay, pixel perfect versions come at a premium. It has the same panel as the Apple Cinema Display. The VP2770 has a lower input lag at 7ms. Both are 1440p.

I'm glad we've had a team for the new Thread OP. This shit takes a lot of time. Thanks to Whiteshirt with helping out on the monitor selection.

Amazon.co.uk has the Gigabyte GTX 670 with the 3 fans for £299. Slightly cheaper than other places. Ordered it, only small parts to buy now!

I got a 7850, installed it, and uninstalled the drivers. NOW WHAT?

I need the latest driver or whatever that gives the performance increase. I think I remember someone saying it was a beta driver. Can someone give me a link to whatever the best driver is that will make my graphics good enough to get my cock sucked by the hottest brazilian women???

The budget-monitor and the third standard-monitor are the same?
Fixed in the updated OP. Trying to finish this tonight. Will need some polish, but content has been done.

Current 13.1 Driver - http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonaiw_vista64.aspx

Beta 13.2 Driver - http://www.guru3d.com/news_story/download_amd_catalyst_13_2_beta.html

I'd go with the 13.1

Wow lol

The Samsung 4GB 22USD versions of the "Wonder" RAM have already sold out. Good thing I hopped on and got 4 sticks while the gettin' was good.

I went back to check the RAM directory on Newegg and they took Samsung out. Page says sold out/discontinued so I'm wondering what's up with the RAM other than it being in high demand.

What up with that? Please someone tell me they're just phasing it out for a new version.

8gb sticks soon?
