Right guys (and gals), my gfx card has packed in and now only allows me to use one monitor, I like having 2 monitors as I can watch films and find it useful if I'm coding, but at the same time my monitors are cheap 19 inch ones and I've wanted something better for a while, especially when I'm watching films with gf they can be a bit small, I can't afford to upgrade my monitor AND my gfx card so which should I do, buy a 24 inch monitor and have just the 1, or buy a new gfx card and stick with my 2 monitor setup? For reference my current card is a 9800GTX black edition and I only have one pci-e x16 slot - opinions?

I would go for a new GFX and have 2 monitors

I know overclockersUK were selling the gtx460 at £100 a couple of weeks ago too

Decided to stick with 2 monitors for the minute as suits my usage better, I might see if I can get some cash from parents at Christmas and put it towards a big monitor as my main - grabbing http://www.ebuyer.com/prod​uct/267729 as new gfx card
