My PC died last night after 10 years and so not a bad innings:eek: Now in the market for a new one although under no illusions that it will last as long. Will mainly be used for video editing but want it to be capable of being used for casual gaming.

Are you planning on overclocking the cpu? For casual gaming the GTX 680 4gb would be a bit of an overkill. A cheaper alternative would be the gtx 670 with very similar performance gaming in 1 monitor.

Thanks for the response. No not planning on overclocking but I do run with a 2 monitor 1920x1080 set-up. I'll check out the GTX 670 given the price differential.

Hi
If you are not overclocking I'd go with the i7 3770, the gtx 670 can connect up to 4 monitors.
