imaposer Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) I would love to upgrade the SSD and the video card in my PC, but my second monitor decided to die last night, and I use it quite a bit for audio editing. I think the monitor will get repaired or replaced first. I think I'm going to go for a 23-24 inch that's "full HD 1080" resolution to replace the 22 inch 1680x1050 monitors that I have now.I use the 27" 2560x1440 monitors you can buy on ebay direct from korea. no issues with either of them on mine or my kids computers. Less than $300 delivered. I know next to nothing about computers, and just found a guy locally who builds them to put me a couple together.Mine-AMD FX 7850 8 core black editionRadeon HD7850Gskill 8gb DDR3 RAMAMD 970 motherboard The kids-AMD 6 Core FX6300 4Ghz Turbo BoostRock Solid MSI AMD AM3+ SATA3.0 USB 3.0 CrossfireX Crossfire Supporting Motherboard8GB of memory.
