Finally decided to bite the bullet and get my new pc, spec check please?

[Teasie]

This is the spec I plan to get for extreme gamming, no plans to ever overclock. I do plan on eventually having 3 monitors but for now the one I have will do
would just like to know if this graphics card would do for those purposes or if an SLI of a different NVIDIA card would be better for what I have planned. Also any tips or sugestions would be appreciated quick reply would be appreciated as I want to order it as soon aspossible.

If you are not planning in overclocking you could downgrade the CPU cooler to the triple copper heatpipe. Most games use 4 cores or less and are more CPU dependant. In gaming without any overclock you would have similar performance between the i7-3770 and the i5-3570. The GTX 680 4gb would be a good choice if you wish to have a surround set up with 3 monitors but the improvement in frames per second compare to the GTX 680 2gb is not significant.

thanks for the advice, well apart from that would you say its a pretty solid build for gaming and for 3 monitors and SLI in the future?

I have edited my previous post, I'd consider the GTX 670 or GTX 680 2gb as a cheaper alternative without a significant loss in performance.

[vanthus]

Very nice build,no need to change anything.

[Teasie]

Would the 4gb gtx680 be the best choice if I plan to have 3 monitors?

[Teasie]

or would an sli of the 2gb 670 or 680 be a better choice?

For 3 monitors yes. But to remain above 30 fps on high settings you would need to have 2 x GTX 680 4gb.

[Teasie]

so Can 3 monitors be conected to the one 4gb 680 or would I need to SLI?

You can connect up to 4 monitors to one GTX 680 4gb.
