Build a new system with I7-3770k CPU, gigabyte z77-ud3h motherboard, NZXT phantom 410 case w/NZXT power supply 850 watt, 2 ASUS 24" monitors, plan on purchasing Pioneer blue-ray/DVD unit 2208, need help choosing a video card. Would like to get a least a 2gb card however, I'm not a gamer, right now, may look into that later on. Not trying to spend over $250 if that's possible

Thanks

You've basically built a gaming PC (without a video card). If you don't play games, but 'might' some day you really should just use the integrated video for now. Not a whole lot of benefit to putting a video card in such a system if you're not going to utilize it. Sure you might improve Blu-Ray playback a bit. But that's about all the difference you'll see unless you actually do any 3D modeling, rendering, video editing, etc.

With two 24" monitors I"m going to presume they are at least 1920x1080 (1080p) resolution? In which case, should you decide to game, you'll want something like the $250 GTX 760 or better if you want to turn up all the pretty graphic settings.

I've just never found a game that has interested me, also I've never looked either. I have been looking at the Zotac card 61201.

For a desktop PC in which you're doing a lot of Blu-Ray movies and such that should be more than enough. For light gaming it would be fine. But if you want to play next gen games with decent graphics settings I would get something higher end.
