The_Tropical_Lobbies wrote I know r00t b33r answered this question before but I have finished building my pc and I was wondering what monitor I should use:

21.5 inch monitor

Or

32 inch monitor

The 32 is my tv but I just have a 21.5 laying around tht I'm not using but I don't know what would be a better gaming experience

21.5' is probably better. Depends on the resolutions.

Monitors > TVs, generally speaking.

I was thinking about the good things I have heard about an SSD and I was wondering if I should add it to my build later in about a week cause I'll get paid again so I was wondering any recommendations for an SSD

128GB Samsung 830 hands down!

Hey r00t b33r my friend asked what the XFX 6870 1gb double d can handle like is it a good enough card to run modern games on high at playable fps?

It's not enough to max BF3 at 1080p above 60 FPS, but lowering the settings will let you play at 1080p at 60. Shouldn't have to lower them too much and it should handle an overclock very well.

I feel like I saved a life tonight. My friend forwarded me to a guy about to order parts for his new build (he was gonna order ~30 min ago) and I asked for him to read it out to me on Skype. Everything was good, but he said he was very set on aftermarket cooling. I asked what cooler he chose, he replied (kicker) "coolermaster v10." it took a bit, but I managed to convince him to get the Noctua nh-d14. He had corsair vengeance ram, so I was tempted to let him figure out that the v10 wouldn't fit anyway, but I'm not entirely evil.

He wants to play GW2 with me and I recommended the $700 option on your chart because it's an i5 2400 which would be better than an i3 2120 right?

HAHAHA the V10! But... You know high-profile Vengeance RAM won't fit either, right?

And yes, a higher-end CPU is a good choice for GW2. Not that the i3 will have any difficulty with a good graphics card, though.
