Hey, this will be for gaming & work (I'm in software dev. & project management). The only unusual behavior is I like to run 2-4 monitors depending on my mood. Let me know how this works!
GOALS: Lower costs IF POSSIBLE and OPTIMIZE WEAK PIECES.
SPECIFICALLY, wondering about the mobo & gfx card. How significant would an upgrade to a 770 be? I am a big fan of nVidia so I'm not drawn to the 280x. And are there benefits to this mobo over the one in my list:
