1164410 2010-12-23 08:55:00 Hi all.

Just building a new pc in custom case. After a new graphics card.

Motherboard is Intel DQ965GF
1x PCI Express x16 connector

Is a M-ATX motherboard and case. But can handle cards up to 13 ¾” (35cm) long.

Silent cooler would be nice but if it has fan im not to worryed.

Up to $200.

On a budget its a case of best card for the money but what resolution do you plan to run at on that 32" panel?

1164417 2010-12-23 23:59:00 another point is the 5770 recommends at least a 450w power supply. If you're running hd/full hd resolutions and doing cpu intensive stuff, you might be better going with the 5670 or upping the PSU as well. On that note, if you DID decide to upgrade the PSU you could keep it for future upgrades too :) 8ftmetalhaed (14526)
