Well, bad news... (Or maybe not?) It looks like I'm going to have to hold off until mid January before I get to build this thing. Is there anything due out between now and then I should know about?

No mistake. The second (smaller) GPU is a dedicated push for a HDTV. Although it seems that model was phased out of Newegg's inventory overnight. I'll have to find a similar HDCP compliant model to replace it. Will there be any issues with Displayport while utilizing a second Gpu? Also, I...

Actually, it looks like the HDMI port is actually just a DVI adapter. So as far as the board ITSELF goes, it's DVIx2 + Mini-Display port. So three is the correct number. As far as the build goes, I switched some stuff around. New list is as follows. I'd love some input. Newegg.com - COOLER...

That, sir, is sexy. I've done some list revising. If you're interested, I'd like your opinion on it. I'm also trying to figure out where to chop some costs (if possible.)

Oh dirkpitt45, see what happens when you come at me (more specifically, my wallet) with logic? I never would have considered the issue of DX11 OR drivers. Just to make sure I'm reading you correctly, you're telling me that that beast could pretty much run 3 monitors at a uber resolution, OR my...

If I used the setup as pictures, it probably WOULD be a PITA regarding heat. However, in my initial setup, I'm only running two in SLI. Still, it'd be hotter than **** in there. I'm considering the Radeon. Still reading about it...

No, you're fine. Nothing wrong with asking questions :) MY PC is pretty much my hub. I like it to do everything, and I usually ask it to do more than I should :cool:. You're correct in asking if I want it to do both. The answer is yes. Now, will I need it to do both at the same time? Well...

In order to run 2 Monitors and a HDTV *simultaneously* while utilizing SLI, you've got to run a third card. Now, if the 5970 can run all three of those, without eating away at performance, I'd definitely consider it (Assuming I could find one)

The 9400 isn't going to be a PhysX card. The idea is to run two monitors in SLI, and to use the third monitor to push a HDTV. I'm pretty sure the 9400 is a single slot, althought I think you're right about the 1x being blocked. I'm sure I'll be pushing the computer beyond it's stock limits. How...

Hey everyone, just thought I'd introduce myself. I'm an avid computer user, and I have interests all across the spectrum, from gamer to musician to movie buff, I tend to use my computer for everything. Now if only it would cook... Anyway, just dropping by to say hello!

Paragon Partition Manager also does a fantastic job of cloning drives to a different drive size.

Hey Everyone, Before I get into the topic, just though I'd introduce myself. I'm Wicked_Chicken! *Wave* Now with the formalities are over with... I'm currently in the process of specing together a high end gaming rig I'm hoping to build before the year is out. I haven't owned a desktop for...
