personally I would have thought lose the Master X1900 and get a seasonic PSU or similar, but thats just me.... feel free to ignore lol

A single X1900 should be ample for that screen imo

EDIT: also i'm guessing the gaming is very important... get a different mouse, Razer or logitech 4tw

Holy dog ****. That will easily be able to power a 20" ! I have a 6600gt with both of mine, low fps though!

nice just a single 1900xtx it is then

Or you could get 2 and give one to me? Worth a try...

i'll swap it for the GFX card in my sig

Single X1900XT will give you good fps no probs on a 20" screen, anything above that and you would be looking to xfire. Personally i would not get that thermaltake case or any thermaltake case but thats just my opinion. i would take a look at a lian li case or the akasa ecplise 62 w/sidewindow, much better cases than any tt. Also look at changing your drive to an nec model.

My buddie runs an 7900GTX with a 6300 Core 2 Duo and that same monitor and 2gb of ram.

He's running everything maxed out, show off even had 2 games running at once the other day plus media player running to. Games were CSS and TMNations.

So i'd say yeah that'll run maxed out.

I agree on the case and psu, Seasonic, Enermax, FSP, Antec, then any good built case, like Silverstone, Akasa, Lian Li.

Once upon a time i was a massive Thermaltake fan, but i've seen a Lian Li and i have an Eclipse, and sorry but they p*ss all over the Thermaltake's imo. However not all cases such as the Akasa Eclipse come with fans, so thats another thing to consider, see the product descriptions.

looks like im going to choose another case, and wait for this money to clear

i want my rig noooooooooow
