Hello,
I have slowly been buying compenents for my new rig over the last 2 months. So far I have purchased:
Antec 1200 Case
MSI X58 Eclipse
G. Skill DDR3 6 GB 1600
i7 920
Corsair 1000HX psu
This past weekend I received my new Dell 2409 wfp (Rev A02). As you probably all know the highest resolution that this particular monitor can do is 1900 x 1200.
I am currently shopping for video cards and I could use some advice. I am really open to anything except cards that are water cooled. I've read a few articles on this site that compare Duel and Quad SLI/Crossfire and it seems that at this particular resolution the difference is marginal compared to cost. I know Quad GPU set-ups start making large differences at 30 inch monitors or larger.
I am looking for the best setup for this monitor, whether that be a single duel GPU card (GTX 295 or 4870x2), or two seperate GPU cards like two 4890s or 4870s.
Lets say I buy a single duel GPU card... Is it worth paying the extra $$ for the PCI slot, meaning for me to buy another card down the road since I will be sticking with this monitor and resolution.
Thanks in advance,
Alex
