Have you decided on which CPU you are going to use?

I'm going with the amd fx 4100 4x3.6mb, 2mb l2 8mb l3

Also going with the msi ati 6970 twin frozr iii 2gb-outperforms nvidia 560ti, no driver issues, same price

Still searching for cases

[h0dg1k1ll3r]

changed my mind about the case-going with nzxt switch 810

Well, no filters but it does have a lot of fan options and good cable management. I personally would get the black on black version - white-faced optical drives are hard, if not impossible to find. And as I noted before, I pay attention to what's on my monitors and expect my cases to not draw attention to themselves. But that's me.

Have you looked at any monitors yet?

According to Newegg, this case has "full coverage fan filters", and the case is black steel. I'm going with a somewhat decorative, semi-military-theme; hence the curiosity about laser engraving, but the somewhat simplistic looking case with no LED fans.

As far as monitors go, I'm getting a wireless keyboard and mouse combo, and I have a 40" 1080p tv which I will use atleast for now. Would you see a problem with this?

Ah, I see you are right - it does have filters. Not sure how I missed that before. Thanks for pointing that out.

I don't think you will have problems running the display but it may not be a satisfactory image. One of the big issues seems to be awareness of the Pixel size as on a desk top, you are sitting to close to the screen. Lots of users have a PC monitor and use a large TV as a second display for watching video. Read this thread and look for similar.

I AM a monitor noob; my current tv is a Dynex 40" lcd 1080p-dont remember exact model, bought dec 2009
refresh rate 60hz, v-chip, 16:9 aspect, 400 cd/m brightness. Doesn't say if its 4:4:4, so I'm assuming it's not

[h0dg1k1ll3r]

If I were to decide to buy a new tv rather than a monitor-mostly because of the price difference-what features would I need in order to be able to get a good display?

[iammykyl]

If this was my rig, I would build it and experiment with you existing screen. If you could get it, say on a wall, 4 to 5 feet away, it may be OK for you, Using a screen designed for watching TV is never going to be the same as using a PC monitor. Gaming on a 24in is very good or with the selected GPU, you could build up to a 3 screen display.

In your next post could you please list what you have decided on to date.
