Hey all! I'm in the market for a new PC and I've got a few questions. I'm hoping you guys can shed some light on some of them! My budget is around $1000 but I've got the case, PSU, keyboard/mouse and 2x 1gb green HDS already.
1) To Quad or not to Quad - that is the question. I'm a gamer who also likes to multi task - should I go with a 3ghz dual core or a 2.5ghz quad?
2) I want to run 3 monitors - I'm looking at getting the GTS 260 superclock edition, can I just get a cheap (say 9400GT) card to put in another slot to run 3 monitors? The other option is running SLI/Xfire (for example, the X2 cards) and enabling/disabling for games. What do you guys think?
3) How much Ram should I get, and should I go for DDR3? I was thinking 6gb but I'm just not sure.
4) I've got a roomy P180 case with a good antec 650w power supply already - i'm assuming this will be good enough to run my setup, which will have a velociraptor and two 1gb green drives.
5) Do you guys have any good MOBO suggestions? Keep in mind I'll probably have to have slots for 2 vid cards.
Thanks so much in advance guys, I'm looking forward to getting my components ordered later tonight!
