Hello :)

When I decided build my pc, I made a list of part I want for my computer, and 2 5850's in cf was on my list.... However, I didn't get round to it, I stuck with the one until I got some cash :)

I'm 16, still in school but I'm able to drive in 6 months time, and the plan is to get a car within that time so I can stick it on the drive, service it and save up for my insurance, well part of it ;)

I'm thinking on getting this last 5850 near the end of this month to complete my build, but there is a problem. Currently, I run a Samsung t220 which is 1680 x 1050, so 5850's in crossfire is just an overkill, but I am planning on upgrading to a 24" monitor with a rez of 1900 x 1200.

So what should I do, get the card now, so my builds finished and wait untill I get my new monitor, or, just get it when I get my monitor?

But I'm worried they will bring out V2 5850's by then which won't be the standard black and red colour fan which fits perfectly with my colour scheme :(

Opinions please :D
