Good deal?

I currently use two 19" monitors running at 1280x1024 on a 8800GT. I really want an upgrade and now have some money(not a lot)£350max. I may be able to get two LG W2243S-PF 22" for £85 each new. The LG only has vga but runs at 1920x1080 is this a good deal worth going for. I will need a new graphics card in that budget. So challenge time two full HD monitors (to be used for gaming (MW2) and films) as well as a graphics card with enough juice for my needs for £350 max. suggestions welcome

Well if you can get those monitors at 85 each. 2x85 =170

Which leaves us 180...so then you'd get a 5830 (released shortly) and rock on

no point getting 2 monitors for games, get 3 for eyefinity.

Get a BenQ G2420HDBL 24" & a ATi 5850 1024MB. That's a smidgen over £350 but bloody worth it!

But its completely pointless upgrading to this if you have a gutless cpu + memory though?
