my plan goes as follows:work my butt off and buy a 360, then get a

450ish dollar 32" tv/monitor 

after that ill save up for about a half year (which should get me anywhere from 750-1250 bucks)

what type of hardware would i need to run a 32" well ( 1366X768)

will i need to spend over 1000 dollars?

thx so much

I wouldn't buy something that's recertified myself...but any midrange card can handle that well. That TV only runs at 1366x768 so a high end card, while a definite plus, isn't a necessity. So I'd say look for a medium-high end video card, middle of the pack processor, 1-2GB ram, and the rest is jelly.

If it's self-built, 1000 bucks or less. Custom built, 1000-1200 ish. Prebuilt, too much ;)

I don't know American pricing, but video card wise, a X1950pro could drive that resolution fine. A traditional LCD monitor of that size would have a significantly higher resolution and would require something much more powerful.

I have Oblivion on the PC, RS6 is decent but I dont' want to take the time to get good at it. I HATED GRAW, and GoW is the most overrated game in history. All of this is IMO of course. GoW was the reason I got a 360. Luckily, there were man other good games to make up for it. Lost Planet has been my favorite so far.
