i got a real dilemma here: i have to choose between a new graphics card (7950/x1950) or a 19" LCD monitor:idunno:
What shud I do??
my actual card is a 7600Gt and my monitor is a random CRT 17"
/if you choose "save money" please explain why ;)
I'd probbly go with the monitor, get rid of that CRT! The 7600GT is a pretty decent card that should hold you for awhile.
I agree, go for the monitor, preferably one of those 2ms refresh rate jobs.
By the time you actually NEED to upgrade your graphics card there will probably be a new generation around, but prices for a 19" monitor are unlikely to drop much in the intervening period.
Also, because of the high internal voltages your CRT monitor is more likely to fail than a new LCD one or your current graphics card, and you should always replace the "weakest" component first.

The drug dealer probably can get you both for the same price?
