I don't know! It's not been used for games yet, runs dvd's fine and hooks up to the HD projector fine. There's plenty of space inside for upgrades by the look of it.

Anyone want to recommend a new monitor for me? Thinking a 20+ inch one, my current Dell TFT is 19" and starting to look a bit dull.

My pc has a vga and a hd video output (can't remember the correct type) and I run 2 19 inch monitors. Different program showing on each screen. I highly recommend running two screens if you have the money and the room. I wouldn't go back to a single monitor now.

I'm going for one of these when my current one is retired (lg 34 ultrawide)

I've recently bought one of these:

It replaced my two 22" monitors, but I had to upgrade my graphics card too. My previous ones didn't support 2560x1440.

If you're planning to use your system for work or video editing I'd definitely recommend getting two monitors unless you want to splash out on a monster like mine.

Wow, both of those are rather OTT for me. Almost all my work is text based, leisure use is browsing / emails / Youtube - I don't game. I may consider a second 19" monitor as this would allow me to have virtual sessions displayed. There isn't really anything wrong with my monitor, just thought a bigger one may be better. Maybe two is the way forward!

Do I need two video cards for two monitors?

No, just a video card with more than one output

I was gutted when my Hansspree 28" monitor dies recently. The Benq 27' i replaced it with is nowhere near as good.

I might have to get it repaired

two monitors are good, but I loved my old 28" - You can have two windows open which is similar to two monitors and doesn't need two outputs
