I have a gtx 295, but I need a new mobo and ram to go with it. I want to do lots of demanding gaming. I have an intelq9550 quadcore cpu, overclocked to 3.6ghz, do you think I should also upgrade to an I7 as well? thanks

yea i can't really afford to go get 2 more 26inchers lol. as long as the 295 does all the heavy work, any card should do for the secondary right? any reccomendations?

So i currently have a gtx 295, and im running one 26inch monitor. i want to buy 2 new 20inch monitors and hook them up, but i think i will need another graphics card to do that. Can i just get a cheap one and plug one into there, and 2 into my gtx 295? how does that work?

so basically i have 2 choices: either i play the game in normal mode on the main display, and leave the other monitor on the desktop, and be forced to alt tab to mouse over to the second one. OR i play in windowed mode so i can click out of the game and over to the second display. assuming im not playing a 2 monitor supported game

Hey, so I currently have a 26 inch lcd monitor at 1920x1200, and i wanted to add another monitor to my setup. Probably a cheap Hanns-G 19 inch lcd at like 1440x900. I know my GTX 295 can handle both, but will there be any problems with the difference in resolutions?

Also, will I be able to play a game on the main display and surf the web on the other at the same time? or make the game play on both? how does that work? thanks

well i want the best, within reason. perhaps 200 and under. somethin like an $80 blu ray combo drive would be good. doesnt rly need to burn, but it does need to play all formats and upconvert standard DVDs.

I recently bought a lot of blu ray movies to watch on my PS3 and HDTV, but I also want to watch them on my comp. Im lookin at gettin an all-in-oneBlu Ray drive, because it will play BD, DVD, CD, and burn CD/DVDs, as well as lightscribe, but DO BD DRIVES UPCONVERT? i have a load of standard DVDs and I want to make sure a new drive will upconvert those as well. been poking around Newegg, looking at their top 4 or 5 blu ray drives, but nowhere does it mention upconversion...
