I run my gtx 260's at 75C almost 24/7 whilst folding.

900 is probably the best bang for your buck now with the Antec 900-2 out for 139ish.

With 1 card it'll be plenty of room. As i said before in another thread, 3 holes in the tray and it's even better.

ya i was looking at the 900-2s but for 20bucks more the 1200 is a much better deal. as far as the 900 goes for $100 i think ide go with the wind tunnel over the 900.
 
Yeah everyone seems to love the 900, you should be almost guaranteed a good buy with that case. Nzxt have some pretty nice cases at good prices, you should check out some. the lexa is pretty room case and its in your range

not bad, but i just looked in my bank and i have $300 more in there than i thought i did lol (my play account, not the account i use for bills/grocerys) so i think ill be able to afford the 1200 + the monitor i wanted + the cd drive + maybe even a water cooling system, i just gotta check the price of the water coolers, if not i might be able to get a new heatsink, but then again the standard i7 heatsink works just fine since im not going to overclock, my main concern is only the gpu, but i can always look into different gpu fans.

im willing to spend up to $400 total for everything, including the 23" monitor and the dvd drive and the case, along with anything else, which would put my pc total at like $1,500 or around it(rest of the parts are already purchased and built)

this is what i decided to go with and i just looked at all my other parts. guess i ended up spending $1,700 total o_O lol when i originally was planning on spending $1,200 max =/

Your build is similar to mine. I received the Samsung 2343bwx today. So far so good. No dead pixels or anything. Looks great.

The only problem though is setting it up. I still dont understand much of this "calibrating" deal.

How do you like this LCD so far?
