Video card is a GTX680. So I want a display system that utilizes this, but I am unsure how to do it.
I have a monitor now running at 1680x1050, but I want a monitor that can blow this out of the water. (This I will be using as a second monitor solely for multitasking)

I'm not sure what reasonable price ranges are for good monitors, but I was thinking of a monitor less than $300.. thanks!
