My current build is in my sig.
Im going to start a new job/internship soon.
In order to commemorate the occasion I want to kind of overhaul parts of my comp as I get the money.
1st is my water cooling loop
2nd is mouse/ keyboard
3rd is Graphics and display
My question is what would bottle neck my cpu in a dual set up if anything when I finaly get to step three. I want to run triple moniter/ dual cards.

You'd be fine with pretty much anything. Buying another 670 wouldn't be a bad way to go, it's not unheard of for them to go on sale for about $300 since the new 700's came out. If you wanted to go for a 770, 780, 7970, etc you shouldn't have any problems there either.

Wait you want to run SLI surround is what your saying? Running Eyefinity/Surround doesn't add more load to your CPU, it adds more load to your GPU. If you wanted to add another 670 to do it, you'd be alright to run two cards off your current CPU, and an OC wouldn't hurt either.

Okay you either edited your OC or I read it wrong first time through, either way, I'd recommend you buy the second monitor first, then decide if you want to add another card. I've never run a multiple monitors like that, but I don't think a 670 would give you to hard of a time with it.

Depends what your 'bottlenecking'? Are you doing Video Rendering? Calculating the weight of the Ozone? Want 120FPS on your dual 1900x1280 screens in BF4 on Ultra settings?

If the latter or doing rendering YES a i5 tops out, i7 is the next level for hefty duty workloads, depending on what your doing / expecting. I looked up in another thread and there was a i5 with SLI and a i7 with SLI and the i7 did much better because of the more processing it can do.
