This is what I have chosen so far. This is strictly for gaming, and I don't plan on doing any overclocking. I just need to know what you think as well as some suggestions on a PSU, and which of the two monitors would be best. I had assumed Amd was the way to go right now if your on a budget, but please feel free to steer me in other directions. I don't have a set budget cap but don't get wild on me, you can assume from my choices that I have chosen around the best of each category for what I can afford.
Also, I choose the 7950 gt 512 because of the price, but I never factored in my tax return check, so I may be able to squeeze in an 8800 gts 640. If I do this would these picks still be wise or would there be a bottleneck (excluding the PSU because I realize depending on which card I get changes which PSU I need). Thanks guys
