@ cmndr andi

thanks for you input too.. Just a couple of question.. that PSU you suggested, is that any good? It's just i havent heard of the brand thats all.. and last but not the least.. the monitor - I can see it has a good review, but does it have a HDMI connection on it?

thanks

@ RJC

I see. How does this compare to the gigabyte counterpart?

@ cmndr andi

i see. if it doesnt compromise on quality then, this might be a good choice. You see i was under the impression that, if the monitor has HDMI input and your graphics has HD and HDMI you will have this awesome picture quality.. but thats just me

@ ripped

thanks for the input. you suggested the Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5 is this better than the asus one? the rest of your suggestion had been suggested by RJC too and its already on my list.
