I wan't to buy a 20-24 inch monitor with either a resolution of 1680x1050 or 1920x1080. What would be the difference in image quality between the two and the difference in performance when set to those resolutions for a game like battlefield 3? The specs are: 8gb ram, ati 5750 1gb, amd phenom x6 1035t
Also there is the price difference to consider...
Answer
The difference is workspace. You get more space out of 1920X1080 plus the fact thats HD resolution (1080P) The crispness of the image will depend on the monitor you select, but most new, well 90% of them are 1920x1080. Your specs are fine for games to run at 1920X1080 Though some new ones like BF3 will need to be lowered (not maxed) I would look into the ASUS VH236H or VH238H (Difference is LED vs LCD) as they are used in MLG & Mny other pro gaming circuits & arent very expensive.

Pre-built Gaming PC Spec help?

I'm relatively new to gaming PC and came up with this iBuyPower build for around $2300. The gaming PC is the Chimera 4-MLG. I'm looking for a PC that can run games such as Crysis 2 on ultra with 60+ frames per second. I'd love to get a few opinions on it.
A few questions as well:
1.) Will the i5 suffice for high end gaming or should I get an i7 instead?
2.) For video cards, how much better does the GTX 680 do against the GTX 670?
3.) For either of the video cards, 2gb or 4gb? I heard 4gb was a bit overkill, but i'm considering the fact that this may not be the case in the next 2-3 years.

Waste of money. If you can "build" it on one of these sites then you can go out and pick the parts yourself and build it
Don't listen to that idiot, a i7 will perform no better then a i5 when it comes to gaming
It's stupid getting a SSD for a data drive especially since it's only 120GB
Since this is for gaming you don't need a multi-reader
You can save money by not getting the SuperClocked 680
Unless you have wireless in your home, then you won't need the wireless USB adapter
You don't need Windows 7 Ultimate, Home will do just fine
Unless you're running multiple monitors or a hi-res monitor then 2GB graphics card will do just fine at 1080p or lower
The 670 is pretty much right up there with the 680 but for a $100 cheaper price tag
You're spending $2,300 and you're not even getting the top CPU and only 1 video card
