Hmmmmm.
If I donate my perfectly good screen - what's the next step up in terms of 16:10 panels around the £200 mark ?
Not a problem on the PSU, as I won't be crossfiring the 4890.

Society's to blame,
Or possibly Atari.
All the cheaper monitors with an IPS panel under £300 are either 1680X1050 or 1920X1080:

The HP ZR24w looks really fantastic though and is probably going to be over £400:

Heh. I appreciate it !
I'll just tell her I'll get a new Triumph instead.

Personally any cheap TN panel is fine most of the time, not as nice as an IPS, but not vital.
I'd question if even quad core is needed, a PhenomII X2 550 BE should be fine and only around £65-70

It's just that I've found nothing that is really cpu bound these days with a dual core, hard drive access times is looking to be the bigger bottle neck atm.
Still sticking in a quad core is not going to harm performance, you will probably want to drop in an aftermarket cooler as a quad does produce quite a bit more heat than a dual core cpu.
