$1000 to spend on a gaming PC

Yes it has overclocking potential, however I would highly recommend going with the tuniq tower over the af7 pro if you get the q6600.

i don't see me getting a tuniq cuz i move this system a lot, between rooms and Lan Parties i have planned to visit like crazy!!!

i say keep the 320mb until u go over 1280 x 1024 resolution, so 640mb is perfectly suitable.... i like that samsung, looks quite my LCD except urs is bigger and mines a Norcent

Okay I took some time out of my day and went to best buy and looked at the 19in, 20in and 22in lcd monitors... No tough choice anymore I am getting the 22in. Now I have to get a good 22in for a great price. Now I am not shorting myself and grabbing the 640mb 8800gts.

Yes you do not have to get a factory OC'd card. You can OC the card yourself well past the factory settings and save the extra money and use it for anything else.

Most people recommend the samsung or hanns-g. I am actually trying to decide between these 3 monitors:

Acer AL2216Wbd Black 22" 5ms DVI Widescreen LCD Monitor with HDCP support 300 cd/m2 700:1 - Retail

SAMSUNG 206BW Black 20" 2 ms (GTG) DVI Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 800:1 (DCR 3000:1) - Retail

SAMSUNG 216BW Black-Silver 21.6" 5ms DVI Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 DC 3000:1(1000:1) - Retail

Tough choice

I may end up biting the bullet and grabbing a 19in to save some cash.

or sometimes u buy a regular evga 8800gts and they give u a superclocked gts

buy the cheapest one, and use ATITool and OC it urself, but i think if u wanna keep the overclock, u have to keep AtiTool running as a process in ur system tray???

i originally bought the regular 8800gts 640mb which is 500/1600, but once i started checking my gpu speeds via ntune, it read as 576/1700, which is the superclocked version...i have no idea what your talking about
