Am also considering getting a newer monitor as well, 22 - 24 inches. Would appreciate your kind recommendation.<br /><br />Also, would appreciate if they all can be provided by a single vendor, easier to manage that way.<br /><br />Is a nice sound card necessary for gaming, or can I get away with a cheap one?<br /><br />Many thanks for your contributions <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> practice_noob Hardware Thu, 01 Mar 2012 12:24:34 +0800
