I know its not an I7 chip which would have been much better for the gaming aspect but gaming is not the only thing I have to do.

One note is I sorta skimped on the monitor stand and looking back I should have just paid the extra $200-$300. Due to the weight of the monitors the extend-able arms seem to droop a bit. Also I really would have enjoyed a wrap around that keeps my bezels neatly aligned.

I was pleasantly pleased with the DisplayPort cables I ordered through monoprice. There was a lot of trash talk about the dell cables, adapters, how to get diplayport to work, and the very monitors I purchased crashing all the time.

At the price Monoprice offered the cables I ordered extras and was still WAY WAY WAY below the cost of ordering them from Dell, New Egg, Best Buy, Tiger direct or anywhere else I looked.

$5.00 per cable.....or up to $60.00 a cable PLUS adapters for each.

I got them from monoprice and hooked them right up no problems.
