noticed it but didnt include as the bundel may not be there when i order

I am having a re think on the monitors after reading that review to be honest.

Ok i admit i know f all about monitors my last buy was based on a friends recommendation.

So dumb question no. 1 Why go for the 120hz panels witch is for 3d if im using an ati card?

Dumb question no. 2 could i use the nivida 3d with an ati card ( common sense says no)

Have read that the 3 panels (in that review) are not ideal for surround setup due to size of brazel
 
The 120HZ refresh means you can go over 60fps in games making a smoother experience.

You cant use the nvidia 3d glasses with a ATI card.
 
For the cooler I'd get the Thermalright Venomous X Black and a couple of fans. You'll end up with better performance than the Antec 920, and it will certainly give you much better performance for a given noise level.

The 920 is terribly overpriced and relies far too much on high RPM fans for good performance. At lower RPM, it can't compete with the likes of the VX.
 
Ok i sort of gave up on the 3 monitors and keeping my old one (Dell 2407) untill it pops or untill i get the 27" 120Mh monitor i fell in love with (again dont tell the wife) so as im in budget and it seems some new games are supporting more cores i decided to go with the BULLDOZER....... lol only kidding im thinking about getting this at the end of the week as always improvements are welcome

If you can, try and get some 140mm fans. Someone mentioned that the cooler now comes with the appropriate fan clips. Thermalright's own TY TR-140s would be best but availability is non existant. Otherwise, Scythe Kaze Maru is also very good. From OCUK's own selection, Scythe GTs would be good.
