I know its a little early , but my parents have some "issues" with online shopping. Looking to only spend about $100-$200 CAD.
Current system:
AMD phenom II 940 @ 3.6ghz wCore Contact
Biostar 128m 790gx
4gb Gskill DDR2 800 RAM
500gb WD black
750wtx corsair
XFX 4850 1gb
Windows 7 RC
I was thinking about one of those 40gb Kingston SSDs with the intel memory controller that are supposed to be out some time soon. Then I can get a student discounted full version of windows 7.
Or a new monitor, since all I have is this dell 17inch that came with my old pc. Served me surprisingly well actually, no dead pixels, no mis-colours, but its only 1280x1024 so its not the prettiest or brightest screen. So I could either get maybe a 22 inch or a second 17 inch. Not sure on which one or what brand, never bought a monitor before.
Final choice is a 4890, figure I could sell my 4850 for $100 or so, my g15 keyboard for $50 and then it shouldn't be too much. Or maybe a 5850, though they're more expensive. And newegg.ca appears to not have any 58xx series cards for some reason... Then later on (march possibly) I'd pick up a new monitor, since my 4850 can already play everything maxed on my current.
Anyone have any other suggestions? or which of those would be best?
