There isn't anything you look for in a monitor besides the size (pixel density), resolution, and the panel type. Once you've made your decision on these three, you either go to the store and look at them yourself and/or read reviews online (ex. www.tftcentral.co.uk - primarily professional displays that we're referring to when we say Apple, HP, Nec, and Dell). What are the three highest monitor resolutions currently available for monitors? Pixel density is measured in PPI, right? Does panel type mean that it's an anti-glare panel, glossy screen, polarized, etc?
Panel type means TN, IPS, VA, MVA, etc.
The three highest currently available is 2560x1600 (30"), 2560x1440 (27") and 2048x1152 (23").
Pixel density is PPI. 1920x1080 on 22" will have a higher pixel density than it being on a 24" screen.

what if i wanna go crossfire later will it work
|
yes just dont go crazy on the power tune and voltages

Yes, unless you go crazy overclocking the HD 6950s and have the power cap set at +20%, or have them unlocked to HD 6970 shaders. You would need to use adapters for all the plugs though.

will this allow overclocking and also good crossfire ASRock P67 PRO3 (B3) LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
|
That board is good for overclocking for its price but it doesn't support CrossfireX
|
can you tell me a good one that does

...the next Asrock motherboard up with 2 PCIe X16 slots (Extreme 4 I think it was)? Its not really rocket science, bro.
|
thx im not the most tech genious i know almost everything except for about motherboards
|
The ASRock Z68 EXTREME3 Gen3 also supports CrossfireX but it doesn't have a USB3 motherboard header. It's also a tad cheaper than the p67/z68 Extreme4.
|
If you knew everything except motherboards, you wouldn't have asked questions relating to the power supply and graphics card.

Check out the MSI B3 1155 boards. There are a ton of sick p67 options. I just picked up the GD53 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130572 and love it but it was a dumb purchace since the GD55 is the same friggin price now and has usb3 headers and a couple other lil options. The OC button is awesome. Takes all the noob guesswork out of overclocking.

What is the most common resolution of those?

2560x1440 maybe, but expect to pay like $800 for that. What's your budget? You're asking about the best brands, which was interpreted as which have the best products and services without regards to price, and then you're asking about the largest resolutions, which are going to be expensive (except not so much on the 2048x1152).
Any particular reason why the resolution matters that much? Unless you need to have a lot of stuff open and visible on the screen and don't want to use multiple monitors, or have some critical image/video editing needs, or just sit really close to the monitor, the standard resolutions like 1920x1080 or perhaps 1920x1200 are going to be okay. Most people are probably more concerned with the aspect ratio.

Have you run stress tests and checked for values on voltages and so on? All that lack of noob guesswork often comes at a cost. Check what it did to your BCLK frequency for instance.

My GPU broke (e-GeForce 9800 GTX..no output, but the fan still starts up) and i need a new gpu...
I'm thinking of: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161315
OP didn't state anything about the HD 4670...Is it good enough for SC2 on high??
BTW comp stats:
CPU: I-7, my brother says its the 2.63ghz one..so only Dual-core
PSU: 500w generic..however IT could be bad also because my comp wouldn't start unless i unhooked the HDD..
4Gb of ram
I'm suprized that the GPU broke, i had an extra fan on it..
IF the gpu i've picked out is not good enough, SUGGEST another gpu; must be under $70 USD..oh and suggest a psu too (preferablly 500w+ and under $70 usd).

AMD sucks, and no, the extra cores don't make it better than current Intel CPUs.
Newegg US deals:
Antec Earthwatts 650w, $60, $40 AMIR. Promo code: EMCKAHK22
Team Elite 2x4GB RAM kit $30 w/ Promo: EMCKAHK28
