Hi guys,
Im going to be using this PC for dual monitor gaming. I will be playing games in one window whilst streaming TV/Movies in the other or watching youtube/displaying a web page.
The games will vary from high end shooters to WoW and LoL.
Should i go for an overclocked processor given the multi-tasking that will take place? And would i be better off with SLI cards or fine with the GTX680?
I know i don't need the 16 gig of ram for gaming but at the current prices its a shame not to so I wont be altering that factor.
One last question: How loud will this build be? I dont need a silent PC but anything louder than a hum will drive me nuts, any improvements that I can make to keep the noise down but retain high cooling?
Cheers!
