Hi, I realized I don't know much about video cards. I do know I want a good gaming card and 3-monitor display.
Here are my specs:
Asus P5Q Pro ATX LGA775 P45 DDR2 2PCI-E16 2PCI SATA2
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 LGA775 3.0GHZ 133FSB 6MB
4GB DDR2
750 Watt Psu
GeForce 9500 GT
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: As soon as I know what to buy
USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming - Total War, Civ IV, TF2
CURRENT GPU AND POWER SUPPLY: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 LGA775 3.0GHZ 133FSB 6MB, Corsair TX750W
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Preferably from Canada. NXIC, tiger direct, new egg.ca, ebay, craigslist
PARTS PREFERENCES: Whatever works man
OVERCLOCKING: I'd like to be able to have overclocking capabilities. Future proof ect.
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: It's all about bang for buck. Whatever works
MONITOR RESOLUTION:currently 1680 × 1050. I think this is my max. I am running a syncmaster 2253lw. I just ordered a Acer V243H Ajbd 24IN Widescreen LCD 1920X1080 2MS 80000:1. I also have a 46" Samsung LN52A650 LCD TV. I would like to connect all three of these monitors together to my video card.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: The best bang for my buck, preferably something that is tried and true. Also, I would really like to impress my friends with my bad ass display.
Budget - I would pay up to $600. It all really depends on what is the best card for my needs. If I only need to spend $250 then I will go with that. I'd like to know my options.
Thank you,
