Basically I was going to get that 5850, but I had to pay for some college expenses and I ran out of spendable cash and wasn't able to get it. The GT 220 has been holding up great so far though, it can play all the high end games to this day, just not with the most reliable FPS on the higher settings.
I am going to be moving into my dorm room this august so I also need a new monitor. I really want a 24" monitor no less. And I happened by these combos:

Anyone mind helping me figure out which one is the best deal?

This is what I'm thinking right now.

broke my automerge :P
Do you know how to overclock? If so, then get the one I posted (first one). That card is better for it.
I have my GT220 OC'd a little, it is limited since its a low budget card I think.
I have never OC'd a high end card myself, I guess everyone has to start somewhere. is the nearly 200 dollar price difference between the 5770 and 5870 really warranted, or is it just because it is newer tech? Cause I really cant be fucked to care about going from 80 to 90 FPS when my eyes cannot even see the difference.

1. Slightly smaller screen
2. 10 dollars less
3. Slightly better card, more cooling, better overclocking potential, some higher specs.

1. .6 inch more screen
2. It's a newer model Samsung monitor
3. 10 dollars more
4. Warranty 1 year less on the card
What you guys think? Anything I am overlooking, I am leaning towards the Acer/MSI bundle, tho I do like the slightly bigger screen and the Samsung brand... [If only there was an MSI/Samsung combo :P]
Get the second one, Sapphire is fine
HAWK for performance, SAPPHIRE otherwise.
Well nevermind, those combo deals have expired. Back to square one :/
Need a good graphics card, and a 24 inch screen for under $450.
