    $1100 to spend and no clue on what.
    Ok so let me preface this I love tech like my toys-r-us is best buy and new egg. I have a solid desktop, don't do any major gaming and have no desire to own a laptop or a tablet. So here is my question without a total rebuild of my current system what are some tech add-on or upgrades you would do.

    pc: 3.2ghz core i7, 8gb of ocz ram, 2.5 tb of hdd, a 2gb Nvidia Graphics card, dvd-rw and a 23" Wide monitor.

    P.S. No modding i.e lights liquid cooling ect. I don't need or want that.. on this system..

    Go!

    That's easy... a 23" Monitor? Jeez. I have a dedicated Panasonic Viera 50" for my monitor :)

    If you're limiting yourself to upgrading your desktop experience, hmm..

    I'd probably spend it on software or a new chair.

    Thought about that but it would require a new video card since this one wont push higher than 1200x1080p.

    See when it comes to software I pretty much have everything I need or want aside from games. I'm running Win7 64x ultimate I have the full Adobe Suite including After effect's I use AutoCad 2010, And have the latest Office..

    But Software is a possibility what else in the software area would you suggest.

    1920x1080 is all a big TV can do. If your card has 2GB of memory, it can support 1080p. What card do you have?

    The 250 wouldn't have any problems with 1080p resolution. :)
