Keep ther money....your comp is in no need of updating! Unless you cant help yourself.

I would get a 24incher

24" monitor.

Best upgrade I've made this year bar none (and this year includes going from dual-core to quad-core, and crossfire 3870's).

Very very tempted by the TFT, mainly as i think i could get a decent price back for my current one.

What I would do, got £113 for my 20" HP. Paid for half of my new 24"

Either the TFT or the Case/Motherboard combo.

TrackIR4 Pro head tracking unit, decent joystick throttle and rudder pedals; IL2 1946 WW2 flight sim and kiss the real world, wife, kids, loved ones and friends goodbye

Not a PC component!

go for the 24" monitor. Your PC does not need an upgrade

Agree...your runnin @ 3ghz, so even a new mobo wont bring much to the table in real world terms.
The 22" monitor you have, while not as big as 24, is still big, and will keep your framerates happy on new games when you...

...wait till feb/march and get a 9800GTX

Id go for the 24 inch tft if you want to spend the dosh, i went for one over a 22" and it was a great decision.

As has been said go for the 24" TFT your rig is fine don't waste your money on that.

MeatLoaf · 2 Dec 2007 at 11:27

The TFT is prolly what i will go for then as i will have some dosh left over initially plus at least £100 back from flogging this one

May get the mobo as well to see how much more i can squeeze out of the quad
