Hi all I'm new here, require the lao jiao here for some examples of a full cpu with monitor included.

Mostly play csgo and dota2. Want to play with high graphics For dota2. And for csgo I just play all low graphics and need 1080 resolution. For csgo need higher fps than now. Only 50+ fps when all the bullets firing around. Very sad...

-Already have windows7 CD with me so can exclude OS price.
-And also buying from pcthemes

if you dont mind second hand, get a much more powerful card, 7870 ~ $200, / gtx 670 250-280 @ the market place

If it's with your graphics card, can stick with 1080 resolution and go for Dell's IPS ultrasharp series. U2312HM - $240 (need to check if got stock at Tradepac)

Ikonik en2 EOL yrs ago le... change to something else.

brand new costs around $400(not too sure on this)
it performs slightly better than the 760 (1-2%) and it's def a faster card than the 270x

 

[souler87]

MSI GTX 670 P.E 30 mths warranty $379 at PC Themes

 

[wtfh4x]

Tradepac promo Zotac GTX760 with 5 yr warranty and Superflower HX500W 5 yr warranty together $399. IMHO thats better value despite the 1-2% performance loss.
