Aloha, and why get a 19" widescreen monitor at 5ms, for $180 when you can get a 20.6" or 22" widescreen at 2ms for not much more?
Also 850W PSU is going to be useless with a setup like that unless you plan on going with dual GPU's in the future. Also I have to Strongly Recommend against a GT280, as benchmarks have already shown 2 4870's in crossfire to be better than 2 GT280's in SLI up to resolutions of 1920x1200 (and 2 4870's cost the same as one GT280), also the new 4870x2 coming out in a couple of weeks will be $400 and also better than 2 GT280's in SLI, which cost $1200, and you can also crossfire them. There are soe other reasons why the 4870 will be the best card around for a while...It will be the first integrated dual processor card...every other x2 card has been 2 video cards slapped together, for example a 9800GX2 is basically 2 8800gt's in SLI...The 4870x2 will have 2 processors acting as one, which among many other things means better performance and 0 microstuttering. There is no reason right now to buy a NVIDIA card unless you are brand loyal or something..Unless you wanted the absolute best card at the moment right now, you could get a GT280, but then you'd shoot yourself in the foot in 2 weeks when the 4870x2 comes out and beats two GT280's for less than the price of one.
