Now see this is an unfair statement.  I upgraded to three monitors, as seen below, not to stop from dying, but to help me die less and hopefully kill alittle more.  :D

I am running.

I5 760 2.8 overclocked to 3.6.
8 gb DDR3 XMS3 memory
Asus p55 LGA 1156 ATX intel motherboard.
Corsair CMPSU650 Watt power supply
Asus nVidia GTX460 DX11 Card
with Corsair H70 CPU cooler (Liquaid cooling)
40 gb solid state drive
1 terrabyte hard drive (storage drive)

So far runs pretty smooth with almost every game.. Was considering upgrading to I7 chip and 16 gb memory.  but figured id wait since nothing on the market would utitlitize it.

I would go with this card XFX HD 577X, it is just a little more $, but it has a "Double Lifetime Warranty"  as opposed to the 3 years from MSI.

I noticed that power supply has four 20a rails.  Make sure the video card dont require more amps.  I know my 5850 required at least a 40a connection.

Apologies Smile for the slightly off topic, but...

Wolf are you running a Triplehead2go to power your monitors or just 2x vid cards?
You get good performance frame rate wise?
Im considering upgrading my race cockpit from a 32" LCD to triple screens, not sure whats the best way, the TH2G cost nearly £300!!! Was wondering if you had it was it worth it, and if not, is it still all good without it?

Looks good, but for the 16g of memory, I wouldn't go any more than 12g of memory for triple channel 8g for dual channel. Benchmarks have shown that there is no increase performance beyond that. Anything over that is wasted money for no increase. In same cases going over has shown a decrease in performance in some area's.

Side question, how are you liking your H70 cooler?

I just got myself a GTX 470 graphcs card to raplace my Radeon. Seems OK (also is a 3D card for when I decode to get a 3D screen).
