Yeah I know about monitor
This one will be my next one http://www.scan.co.uk/products/24-b...led-3d-lcd-1920x1080-10001-300-cd-m-2-ms-vesa
I will get GPU and monitor in the same time.

But 120Hz monitor its perfect for games
Why not LED??I really dont care about 3D I just need 120Hz.
MSI GTX 580 Ligthning?Good choice?Or maybe Gigabyte 580 SOC??
I have a friend that has the lightning, its savage. I would pick that over the soc.

I have the Gigabyte GTX 580 Super Overclocked and I have to say I'm very impressed by the temps/noise/performance. I bought it from Scan.
I have not overclocked it myself as I'm very new to computer building let alone overclocking. It is more than enough for my current needs.

If u don't want to wait for nvidia's new chips- I would have to say for a 1920x1080 screen get the asus matrix GTX 580 platinum for the following reasons: 1) it looks sick 2) good cooler and good temps 3) good OCing abilities (due to cooler + voltage tweaking buttons + if ur hardcore there are little moding things on the board that u can short out for extreme OCing 4) the 1.5 GB and the 3GB 580 's won't be different on ur screen
But I must say, since I have one, my opinion is a little bias

OK, instead of that monitor get an ASUS VG236H (with glasses) or VG236HE (without glasses). Much better picture than the Xl2410T, and the next step up is the Alienware one.
If you want to overclock, go for a MSi GTX 580 Ligthning, or even Twin Frozr II/OC, same coolers, slightly different PCBs.
Nearly all of the 580s overclock well (I OC'd mine to 900MHz).
But the best thing about the Lightning/Twin Frozr is the noise level i.e. its extremely quiet.
Forget the Gigabyte and EVGA editions, they are much louder, unless you don't care about noise, in which case the EVGA Superclocked Edition is the best by far. The Matrix is huge, it takes 3 slots to do what the MSi can do in 2.
But in reality, you don't really need to upgrade from the 470, its still a good card. Unless you are really into the 120Hz, in which case only the 580 is going to do. (or the 570 if you play less demanding games).

Thanks guys for that many replays
I don't wont to wait till 2012 for new Nvidiad chips580 is good enough
Ya93sin I was also thinking about this Asus monitor
But I'm not sure yet...
Yeah 580 Matrix looks SICK
Its 3slots card I know, but so far I will run at single GPU so I still have lots of space for my Asus Xonar D2.Maybe i will do SLI in next few months and than i would have to change my sound card to Xonar D2X(its the same card but with PCI-E X1 connector).Its no problem to fit 2xmatrix in rv03.
Hopefully I will get GPU and monitor in next week(this friday pay day
).
And Scan, Overclockers.uk and Aria are not anymore selling 580 lightning. Also Martix its cheaper
Under 400pounds there its not really any better 580.
