APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Next Month
BUDGET RANGE: Flexible; have booked 400$ as minimum but am (more) than willing to save up more
USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT:
Work: Currently, my gaming machine is also my work machine. Multiple monitors a must.
Gaming: Skyrim, Metro, Wow, Crysis, whatever high-end games come out in the next 2-3 years. (Only game I know of that uses the second montior is SupCom; all others are on main-monitor only, no monitor spanning)
CURRENT GPU AND POWER SUPPLY: GTX 275, Power supply is 'NZXT Performance Power 800 2.91v' -- 4 12V rails with 'max' output of 18, 18, 20, and 22 Amps respectively. Several years old.
OTHER RELEVANT SYSTEM SPECS: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550, 4GBs memory (don't remember make/model), XFX nForce 780i SLI 3-way SLI motherboard; case is large and spacious, with many cooling fans (including one that blows from font more or less under / into the video card)
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Newegg, US
PARTS PREFERENCES: Prefer NVIdia
OVERCLOCKING: Maybe -- I'd like the ability, but I don't really have the know-how or money to play to replace anything if I blow it up. Basically, if it doesn't cost too much extra, sure -- that way as my finances improve, I can consider it then.
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: No preference.
MONITOR RESOLUTION:
Main monitor : 1920x1080
Second Monitor: 1680x1050
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
By preference, I want at least three video out options that can run concurrently. 2X DVI and at least one HDMI. Additional display ports appreciated.
I've actually been looking, I think I want one of the new 600 series from NVidia, but I can't seem to find information on which ones support multiple monitor output (and over how many outputs they can handle simulatenously)
