Right now I have a 7600 GT KO. My pc is a Dell Pentium D 820. 2.8 GHz with FSB of 800 MHz. I have 3 gig of DDR2 ram. Is it worth me upgrading my graphics card, or will my pc bottleneck it. Most of the games I play, play ok, I just have to turn down the shadow settings. I am interested in an upgrade so I can crank up the shadow settings more, and I could use a little more fps, as I am usually around 40. Or, since most games are just enough to get by, should I buy a new monitor instead. I currently have a 17" flat screen. I was thinking of a bigger wide screen. If I bought a new wide screen monitor, would my current graphics card work with it (widescreen). thanks.

Upgrade your CPU, and your GPU.

e7200 + HD 4670 would be nice.
