Hardware Build a PC
1

I recently posted link to my monitor as it turns out its not very good big surprise there since my current pc is a hand me down from my wifes parents. Now i want to know if you guys think it would be in my best interest to

  1. Wait til i have more money and upgrade the monitor later?
  2. Switch out components to try and include a monitor.


I really like my build so i would rather not swap out parts. However if people think it would be better if did i will take it into consideration. Also i'm looking for recommendations for decent monitors for a gaming build.

The 7870 is a really nice card as well so you could save some cash there if you wanted. You might want to drop a size in the power supply as well, especially if you get the 7870. I think they have a minimum requirement of about 500w depending on the manufacturer. I wouldn't swap any other parts though. What size monitor were you looking at getting?

My current monitor is around 19 i would like to stay in that size area.
