What shall I get for myself as a birthday present?
Hi all,
I'm not fishing for birthday wishes, but today (Aug 30) is my birthday (49...WHAT? How did that happen?).
So, I've been considering what to get. I have two things in mind and can't decide which one I'd be better off with or like better.
1. A new graphics card. I've narrowed it down to the EVGA GTX 560 ti Superclock. The Sparkle Calibre 560 looked good in a Tom's Hardware review, but they're not available yet.
2. A new monitor. Really like the IPS panel on the MacBook Pro, so I've been thinking on the Dell U2711. Pricey, yes. However, I wish that I could see one in person. None of the stores in my area carry anything that close to the high-end. Supposedly, the Apple 27" iMac has the same panel (except glossy) and I have seen one in Best Buy. Looks great.
3. Both items. Extravagent I know, but I'm worth it.
4. Something I haven't thought of yet. Any suggestions?
