imo.....

get 3 monitors from 1 graphics card for MWO!

Sapphire ATI HD6950 2GB, or another brand card in the 6950 series that specificly states it supports eyefinity.

Is the card im using now, cost $300 about a year ago in Aus, so it definately should be $100 or less in the USA by now.

Just make sure you buy an "official" - Radeon branded DP->DVI converter cable, as the non-named brands dont work properly, you'll be having to setup eyefinity and bashing your head against a wall wondering why one monitor wont work if you get a "nofrills" one - TRUST ME ON THIS!! lol.



Just a thought if they officialy announce multi monitor support... which im sure they will!

Just to jump back in since my CPU is what started this...HeHeHe :P. I am an avid gamer and in the last couple years my gaming experience has gone down the tubes because of my VERY old PC. I am looking to go Over Powered on this build specifically because I have set aside this money solely to build this insane machine. That way I can get as long a life out of the build as possible because it took me 1.5 years and hiding it from my wife....shhhh! ;) to save this up. So yeah, I would like $2000 of party time please ;)

P.S. I really didn't hide this from my wife, I can't hide anything from that woman.......
