I'm building for a friend and I've got roughly $420 to work with for video card and LCD. Here are my options:
Buy a 5830 for around $250 and a 22" LCD (1920x1080) for around $170?
OR flip it and
Buy a 5770 for $170 and a 25" LCD, with the idea that he will probably add a second 5770 in the future when new games come out (a 5770 is good enough for what he plays now).
The question here is which is better in the long run? Yes this is purely opinion, both are good options in my book.
