Would this be an ideal build for a dual monitor set up?

jccruz210 · Sep 19, 2013

I'm building my first PC within the next week and need advice on parts. What should I change if needed? The PC will be used mainly for gaming, web browsing, and very little for homework.

i5 4670k
mobo: msi z87-g45 gaming
gpu:gtx 770
ram: 8gb
HDD: 1TB
SSD: 120gb
Power supply: SeaSonic 650w

are you reffering to 770 4gb or 2gb?

jccruz210 · Sep 19, 2013

tonyzet :

2gb
Also what would need to be changed if I ran three monitors.

I hope you ment I5 4670K. The I5 400 series are all mobile parts. Anyway, what 2 monitor set up are we talking about? Dual HD, Dual Full HD, dual 1650x1020s, dual 1920x1200? Anyway a GTX 770 won't be able to drive dual Full HD on Ultra in every title. But if it is medium, I think you are set for 2 or so years.

For multiple monitors , i would suggest 3/4 gbs of gpu memory. (770 has 2GB and 4GB versions)

jccruz210 · Sep 19, 2013

Shneiky :

Full HD 1920x1080p

tonyzet · Sep 19, 2013

You should then consider something like a 7970 6gb edition or sli of 770 2gb...

Shneiky · Sep 19, 2013

Or a single 780. Better option than two 770s. I always recommend single GPU config always to avoid hassle.

tonyzet · Sep 19, 2013

i agree with shneiky

jccruz210 · Sep 19, 2013

tonyzet :

what if I went with.
i7 4770
GPU: GTX 770 2gb
Dual Monitors @full 1080p

Your cpu is not resposible(mainly) for the image you will see at your monitors, your gpu is. Updating to i7 will not work...
