yea it is crossfire so it would be the very best you could get playing all games maxed for the next 3 years. or an awesome TV which would act as a monitor and while games wouldnt be maxed on my current card playing them would be a whole new experience.

I think 32 would be to big for desk/keyboard gamming.. unless you could move it back away some. If I was you I would prob go with the r600 x-fire, but than youŽll prob need to upgrade to a top of the line cpu unless you play at really high resolution. :)

Edit- you could get the tv and than save up for a 2900xtx2 (duel-core).

I am sayin the R600 x-fire ony because you have way more moneythan me and I want to see some bench marks.

OR

You could try one R600 and get a slightly smaller LCD.

Its your cash man. I think R600 x-fire is a little overkill. You will need 1kw psu, killer cpu and top range mb to get full potential

BUT

I wanna see some benchies. DO IT!!! :rockout:

Did you get that??

R600 for sure, but I picked the 32" lcd...it would look spectacular :D
Both of these are involving more purchases if you don't have the stuff. Ex- LCD=New gpu+new cpu
or
GPU=New cpu+new big lcd. Som depends on what the person is having already.

If I were you, I'd get the 32" thing. The R600XTX Crossfire thing would, well, have consequences. First, you have to deal with the extreme heat output (400W of heat output for dual cards? That's insulting). Then, you have to get a new power supply that will not only run one R600, but two of them. A 32" thing is very pretty, and is simply plug n play.
