Hopefully getting a new monitor before lan and an extra 4GB of ram as well as a new graphics card, since my PC wets itself if I open more than two Adobe programs, and I want to be able to run BF3 on highest settings.

This is the monitor I thought about getting:

Any suggestions for what graphics card I should get? Also should I just get the exact same ram as I already have?

Here's a reminder of my current setup:

227

(Only difference is I now have an 880 watt PSU).

Another 560 might be your best bang for buck if your motherboard supports SLI.

How can I tell if it supports SLI?

With regards to the ram it doesnt really matter what you get.

The corsair vengance ram is great value for money.

it supports sli if teh motherboard has 2 pci-e 16x slots (the ones for the graphics card :P) AND it says SLI on the board somewhere (or you could look on the product page for your motherboard)

Yeah here's the product page, don't think it has 2 PCI slots: http://uk.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_1156/P7H55M_LE/

What should I get instead?

Lol meant what should I get instead of another 560 ha, not getting a new motherboard.
