Q. so I gotta figure this stuff out:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?Submit=Property&N=2010380048&StoreType=-1&CompareItemList=N82E16814125260%2cN82E16814127456%2cN82E16814125253&PropertyCodeValue=696%3a33099%2c679%3a44046%2c679%3a42535%2c679%3a49650%2c683%3a20729%2c683%3a10557%2c683%3a24927%2c683%3a40784%2c685%3a9618%2c685%3a9619%2c684%3a9613%2c684%3a40865%2c684%3a9614%2c686%3a25271%2c686%3a42010&bop=And
Here's the Comp I'm building:
APEX-T-381 case [Mid tower MicroATX]
StarTech ATX2PW550PRO 550W ATX12V 2.01 Power Supply
ASRock A780GMH Motherboard (w/ PCI express 2.0 port for the Graphics card)
AMD Athlon II X4 620 Propus 2.6GHz Socket AM3 95W Quad-Core Processor
Kingston HyperX 4GB (4 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500)
VISON V221WD Black 21.6" 5ms Widescreen LCD Monitor (might upgrade this soon)
Operating Systems: Linux Mint (8), Open Suse (11.2), Mandriva 2010, and Win XP Home Ed. (SP3)
What I will be doing and playing:
-Assassin's Creed 2
-Splinter's cell conviction
-Prototype
-GTA 4
-NFS shift
-a WRC Rally game *aka no graphics heavy first person shooters like crysis*
-Video editing
-Live TV, Recorded TV and DVD's (don't own a TV)
-Maybe a tiny bit of manual overclocking, but nothing ridiculous, as a can't afford crazy fans, water coolers or temp monitors.
Parameters (if you know something that would work better please let me know!):
-at or under $50
-fits into a somewhat small case (that can apparently fit a GT250, but still, less cramped the better)
-NOT LOUD
-not going to be competing online so frame rate isn't "vital", but I'd like to be able to max every game above as much as possible for $50 or less (and have it run smoothly). consider me less of a gamer and more of a multimedia user.
the 3 I'm choosing between all have unique pros and cons, I'm not sure which of them are important
--------------------------------------------------------------
Gigabyte NVidia GeForce 9500GT (512mb)
Pros
-best Mem clock speed (1600Mhz which is 2x as much as competitors)
-GDDR3 instead of GDDR2 memory (I'm assuming these two pros are linked)
Cons
-only one w/ directX 10 instead of 10.1
-Oldest of the 3 (which could be a pro because it seems to have plenty of good reviews)
------------------------------------------------------
Gigabyte ATI Radeon HD 4650 (1GB)
Pros:
-1Gb of GDDR2 ram
Cons:
-everything else is average, and I've heard 1Gb is pretty useless unless you are a super gamer.
------------------------------------------------
Gigabyte NVidia GT 220 (512Mb)
-I think this is the newest model to come out (supposedly a replacement for the 9500GT)
-48 stream processors (compared to the other two's 32)
-OpenGL 3.1 support (and dX 10.1) - other 2 are 2.1
Cons
-slightly slower core clock speed (625Mhz compared to 650 for the other two)
-Can't find many reviews
WHICH WOULD YOU PICK?
more processing units (GT 220) and support for OGL3.1?
2x as much ram (4650)?
GDDR3 and twice as much MC speed, but no dX 10.1 (just reg DX 10)?
Thank you so much for your response. have a great day!

A. Ok, for 2 reasons I say pick the GT 220.
#1 - ATi drivers for Linux are spotty at best (and that's only when they're available)
#2 - The GT 220 is a bit faster than a 9500 GT and it has the DX 10.1 and OpenGL 3.1

There's a performance review.

Will this monitor work with this PC?

A. Yes, since the GTX570 supports HDMI and so does the screen.
Just hook the screen up to the video card using an HDMI cable. Usually you will have to buy that cable seperately because neither the card or the screen will have it included.
If you didn't want to buy an HDMI cable then you could simply use a DVI cable with a VGA adapter to hook it up.
By the way, the 950W power supply is serious overkill. You could run that system easily with 650W
And 16GB of RAM is overkill too. You will never use more than 6GB of RAM unless you work for NASA or Pixar.
