    NEW NEW PC (and duel monitors)

    ok so after my big explosion and the terrible customer services of the old PC store im sending it back and getting one off a more reliable store so heres what i've decided on so far:

    Processor: AMD athlon 64 4000+
    motherboard: Abit AN8 skt 939 PCI-E
    RAM: Corsair TWINX1024-3200C2 DDR-DIMM (1024MB)
    PSU: Fortron/Source powersupply ATX 550W 120MM SATA, 24 pin,EPS12v (is this good i want to get a reliable one)
    case: coolermaster centurion 530
    graphics card: XFX Geforce 7800GTX which comes overclocked to 490 mhz( im not sure whether the card will be unstable so could someone advize me on tht)
    HD:Maxtor diamondmax 200GB SATA 7200RPM

    and thats it so far so could you advise me on whether these are good choices and if not what i should get instead. Also because i still have lots of money which i had saved from after buying the PC that blew up i have about £500 which is about $900 i think and was thinking about buying a 21 inch monitor.

    I already have a 17 inch but thought i could use one for playing and the other would have my desktop but aslong as i wasnt doing anything on the one with the desktop how much would it drag down the fps of the game on the 21incher if any???

    PS could someone post a link for a UK store that sells a good 21 inch monotor for 500 quid with a response rate of about 8ms 4ms if you do i will give you a cookie!

    PPS any grammer mistakes tell me and i can correct them (i dont no how i managed to pass english LOL)

            If your building this box to play BF2, you might as well get 2GB of RAM so you can smooth out the game-play.

              Get 2 GB of ram, because you will not be able to play on maxed out settings without getting lag unless you have 2 GB.

              Get a different PSU, that one sounds kinda ****ty, get an Antec.

              The XFX 7800 GTX is not unstable, what kinda question is that? They wouldn't sell you a card that's gonna be unstable. I have it, and there's nothing wrong with it. You'll be happy with that system, as long as you get 2 gb of ram. Your system will be almost identical to mine (core parts at least) and I run EVERY game maxed out with over 50 fps.

                i cant afford 2 gigs of ram atm so i will buy some more at a later date but before i go purchase it ther is nothing wrong with this rig because if something is a bottleneck inside it it would be nice if someone could point it out for me also im getting a gigabyte mobo instead of the abit one as it is SLI and has a larger FSB speed.

                  I believe extended desktop gets turned off with a full screen application.
