Country: USA
Parts Preferences: Prefer Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit or better (but can't wait for 8 to come out), Triple or Dual 20"-24" HD Monitor Display

SLI or Crossfire: Whatever is better - Graphics performance and processing is the focus
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1280 Each (Each Screen)
Additional Comments:
Most important part of the build is graphics processing / performance for video editing. Anything that can handle video processing and modern gaming can handle the DB processing I'll be doing. Have been considering a 3 Screen System for programming and video editing purposes (and for Flight Simulator X and MS "Flight" when it comes out) but figure the price is going to limit me to a dual screen system for now. Would like the ability to expand to a 3 screen in the near future. Would like a system that can keep up with most recent 1st person shooters and anything that's going to come out over the next 2 years, as well as best level graphics for MS Flight (when it comes out), but computer will primarily be used for video editing and database/web programming.
