I've been theorizing a build for a while and I've decided I want a triple monitor display, but do I really need two decent cards for gaming or could I run 1 good/great card just fine?
My budget is 700-1000AUD.
I intend to use it for gaming mostly, however, even though it will be a triple monitor display I don't intend on ever really using all 3 displays at once, if I did it would be a very (and I stress that word a lot) occasional thing. Along with gaming I'll be doing a fair bit of Photoshopping and maybe some HD video editing as well as use it as a 'room-theater' (I'm going to hook it up to a 32" TV in my bedroom, save having a blu-ray player and run movies off of it.)
My preferred website is PC Case Gear (http://www.pccasegear.com/), just because they're relatively cheap. You can find the full set-up (excluding Graphics Cards obviously) here: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=wish_lists&wlcId=92107&action=wish_lists
Must be Nvidia but I won't do Gigabyte cards.
I maybe overclocking later on down the track and depending on the advice I get, potentially in SLI.
It'll be 3 1080p 60hz 21.5inch monitors as well as a 720p 60hz 32inch TV that will only be used occasionally, most likely hooked up via HDMI.
Basically I want the best possible graphics on a single monitor. I may use 3 monitors for gaming but if I do the graphics level can be at the lowest for all I care.
So far my considerations have been:
2x ASUS Nvidia 660 Ti DirectCu II 2GB's http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=193_1428&products_id=21200
2x Galaxy GeForce GTX 660 Ti GC 3GB's http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=193_1428&products_id=21396
2x ASUS GeForce GTX 670 DirectCU II http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=193_1387&products_id=20212
1x EVGA GeForce GTX 680 Classified 4GB http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=193_1377&products_id=21007
Any help would be much appreciated.
