Right now I'm selecting parts for a new PC. The 680 is going to be part of it. My question is, with four monitors (none have HDMI hookup ><) will the card work using two DVI dual-head connections?

I have two 23" AOC E2343FK (buying a 3rd) and one 27" LG Flatron W2600H (old but still nice). The 3 AOC monitors obviously are gonna be for the games. The LG will be above those or somewhere else, used as a browser screen.

Just need to clarify that I'd be able to make this setup work before I spend some money.

Any help would be appreciated!

What do you mean by DVI dual head connections? The GTX680 has 2 Dual-Link DVI ports, 1 HMDI, and 1 Display Port.

You can get a HDMI -> DVI cable/adapter and there seems to be a DisplayPort -> DVI cable also which would give you 4 DVI connections.

Here are links to those cables:
