    Advice on buying new Monitor for an older PC


    I have a 12 year old PC. It's a Dell XPS 410 that has had many hardware upgrades through the years to include a SSD, a Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 ti graphics card, a 600W PSU, 8g RAM, and an Intel Core Quad CPU (Q6600) at 2.4 GHz. This is not hardly a modern day gaming rig. But it's still a very capable PC for everyday needs and is running Windows 10 smoothly.

    At this time, I'd like to buy a new monitor. Preferably, one that I can use on this machine but also one that I can use whenever I happen to replace this PC. I am thinking maybe a 24 or 27 inch monitor. But given the age of this PC (to include the mobo), are there any limiting factors (specifications) that I must consider before purchasing and hooking up a new monitor to this PC?

    Thanks for any suggestions here.

    :)

    Help me buy a 3D monitor!

    I checked on their supported 3D profiles list and every game that I play is supported which is great news ^^ Even some of my older games are supported which is a plus!

    I certainly will buy online, I'll get it from Dabs.ie and they do allow for refunds so at least I can test it out and see if I like it or not.

    I will come back to this thread once I test out the monitor to let you and others know if this 3D method is good or bad!
    Cheers for everyone's suggestions and feedback!

    I live in Canada, and there is only one store around where i live that sells monitors, could someone help me pick the best one from these two list please:
    (When i say best one, i mean best price/quality ratio)

    17" monitors:
