So I'm planning to do a ton of video recording for youtube, w/ a set up of...
2 monitors: Side by side, slightly angled towards the seat.
3 monitors: One central monitor, with two side monitors.
So I'd like to know if I'd be able to record a game w/ commentary using Fraps, ranging from Minecraft, to Crysis 3, while browsing youtube on the other screen/surfing.
And before people go "That card can't play Crysis 3 on max", you are wrong. I saw a side by side video of the card beside the 660 and the 650 Ti, and it performed exceedingly well for its price value.
Thanks
EDIT: Should I get rid of the aftermarket cooler? I've read quite a few reviews about the CPU, and apparently the include fan is excellent.
