well AMD's do run hotter. you will prolly have to put 1 to 2 extra fans in the case for the computer.


And for the screen.... i dunno man. id use the one you have or buy a flat display CRT, games suck on a LCD, you can see things blur when theres fast movement on the screen... like for a FPS game, you turn quickly. your going to see every thing on the screen kinda blue as you turn.

LCD's are better for Text. yanno. if you kept the screen you have. saved the money that you woudla bought a LCD with, and when a better type comes out get that instead...... you know they are going to start making Plasma screen monitors sooner or later.
