Cable Forum - View Single Post - Upgrade monitor and Graphics card or not?

pop80_uk · 06-06-2014, 09:19

Hey all
I am hoping you can offer me some advice please,

I currently have a Asus P5G41T-M LX motherboard, Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q9450 @2.66GHz, 8GB of RAM, and a 520 SSD hard drive.

I also have a NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT graphics card hooked up by DVI to a Samsung SyncMaster 971P.

My questions are:
1) Would I see any vast improvement in upgrading the monitor only? to something like this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dell-P2214H-...ds=dell+p2214h

2) Will I need a new graphics card and monitor to see any improvement?
If so any 2.0 PCi Express graphics card recommendations for under £60?
And monitors?

3) Will I see no vast improvement and should stick with what I have now?

Thanks for your help!
