thanks my only concern is that theres no hdmi port on the gigabyte and msi cards if my motherboard has one can i connect it to that EDIT: nvm saw it comes with an adapter


Your motherboard have built in graphics but if you intend to do gaming, then indeed you need to buy discrete graphics card.
How many monitors do you intend to use & what are their available ports?
What are their resolutions ( ex 1920x1080 ) and what games will you play?

Most new full HD ( 1920x1080 ) monitors have multiple inputs ( VGA, HDMI or DVI ). Almost all of video cards also have HDMI ports so connectivity will be the least of your problem.

For single monitor go for the AMD HD6870 or the nVidia GTX560. They should give you great performance on almost all games playing at 1920x1080 resolution. No need to get higher than these unless you want to play at extreme settings.

single gtx 480 would do.If you sli them i think you would need a good 850 watt psu.No sense in paying the same price for a 6870 when you can get a gtx 480
