Re: Computer Configuration Needed

^^For cabinet u can look into CM Elite 310(1.5k) or NZXT Gamma(2k).
Since u r gonna use 5770 I wud advise u to go for Corsair VX450W(3.5k).If u want cheaper alternative for VX450 u can look into Tagan or Gigabyte Superb 460W.
Other members wud be able to give u better advice regardin monitor than me.

Never really liked this way of spending...

Better off spending lesser on the case and more on the psu. Stick to elite 310 and grab a seasonic s12II 430. Do confirm before buying if those 22 inch screens come with DVI cable, or else dvi cable costs 250 bucks.

Edit: Best if you use a dvi cable rather than using those VGA-to-DVI adapters.

No need for a cable. Graphic cards come with dvi to vga adaptor.

Maybe you should do as i do. Have patience and wait for another month to save up some more cash to buy something better.
