Additional Comments: I am new to building a PC and to this forum, this will be my first build since 2003 and I must say a lot has changed. Basically I want a Eyefinity triple monitor set-up and was wondering if I am getting myself into too much right now or I should be okay, minus troubleshooting. Also I'd like to know if there was anything I am missing or needed for this type of set up that I don't have listed below. Since I am not overclocking the system should I get an aftermarket CPU cooler or stock is fine? Thermal Paste? The GPU's I chose any good or go with another brand? SSD Drive worth the extra 200? I would like to play my games maxed out as possible so if you guys have any suggestions on tweaking this build or what else I need, I would very much appreciate it. I'd like to save as much as possible, but I'd also like to get a great gaming system for my buck. Thanks a lot guys.
