No need for OS
No need for Monitor, Mouse, or Keyboard.

Primary use is gaming and secondary use is video editing.

Rather have performance then graphics.

AMD Radeon's build is pretty good. Though I would suggest a Sapphire R9 270x which has 4 gigs of VRAM. It will help u in your 2 monitor set-up.

Seladon-1370374 · Feb 12, 2014

I've got two monitors, I bought cards with 4GBs of VRAM because people recommended that to me. I don't ever ever get over 1.3GB usage, so I can see the point of getting a 2GB card isn't of a 1GB version, but 4GB is definitively a LOT of overkill.

veladem · Feb 12, 2014

Yeah, I agree, my 3GB card is way overkill, even recording in some games I never go over 1-1.5GB of usage. I don't play to have of games, BF3/4, but I do play a little Minecraft, CoD Ghosts, Metro, etc.
