haha yea thanks i was looking at the price range for the monitors. just another question, is it advisable to do a SLI for the GPU? Maybe just to future proof the com or just have one GPU and change accordingly when the time comes

Would be better to just focus on single GPU setups as there may be some games that will not support or work very well with multi-GPU setups.

Can always just change that one GPU, much less painful to your wallet than 2X GPUs.

haha yea thanks for the advice! so just to double confirm, my current cpu + mobo (CPU: Intel Core i5 750 @ 2.67GHz, MB: MSI P55-CD 53) will not bottleneck the upgrades? I am actually fine with upgrading them as well if there is a performance increase from my current rig. haha.

Plus the ram I can keep my current ones? Don't have to change to the 1600mhz kind right? haha

Thanks in advance! :)

Nope, your CPU will not bottleneck your updates and no point changing your RAMs, getting 1600Mhz RAMs will make your system respond faster by just a few milliseconds.
