I currently have 2 Samsung LED monitors. Both 1600x900. They are not the greatest but they get the job done for the money I had when first building my computer.

Should I keep the dual monitor display setup I have currently, or switch to 1 widescreen monitor ?

Currently have:

Samsung Syncmaster SA350 (60 Hz, 1600x900)
Samsung Syncmaster 2033 (60 Hz, 1600x900)

If I were to get a new monitor I would have to keep it right at or under $130 USD.

Depends on your specs. I wouldn't bother upgrading to 1080p, I'd look at a 2560x1080 or 1440p monitor. Those are out of your budget though. You may not even be able to run 1440p well anyway. If you've got hardware capable of running 1080p at good settings, then it wouldn't be a bad move to upgrade to 1080p, though I'd just save the extra $20 or so for a nice 2560x1080 panel. If your hardware isn't capable of even running 1080p well, youd be better if putting the $130 towards your system instead of peripherals IMO.

Sanct does not recommend that psu so u either edited it or its nir his build.

Anyways why the foook are you using those monitors with this set up lol. Your maxing most games at 1080p get one asap Or a 1440p if you can afford one. They're not much more expensive.

Should definitely look at 2560x1080 upgrade. It's a little over budget, but it would be a great option.

They were monitors I had when building the computer. Focused the money on building the computer vrs. the monitor's. I was waiting until I got some more money before going out and getting a monitor.
