          Don't get the 25 ms LCD...you'll get ghosting. Get one with 16 ms or less. The lower the number, the faster the response time.

            If you are looking to game on this a lot then 12ms or less preferably, you can pick up a good 8ms 19" LCD for less than $300.

            Thread renamed and moved to Hardware.

              What's the final price?

              Two things I noticed were the ram and lcd. Check the timings on those sticks and let us know. As for the lcd, 12ms or lower is where you want to be.

                Why get a 3700+? Just get a 3200 or 3500 with a Venice core, and OC that beotch.

                  I have a 3000+ and it runs excellent for me. I have it OC'd to 2.39GHz and it runs cool and fast

                      Seriously, dont get a 3700. You can get a 3000 and still run the game fine, and the price difference from a 3000 to a 3700 will more than cover the extra hundred for a 7800GTX. Also, like everyone else said, don't get that monitor. If you already have a CRT, I would say keep it for now and make that your next upgrade.
