Lol what are you going to do with it? Your normal computer use right now or extreme gaming?

Blockland.

I have no idea, but I was thinking about doing double 670's and this just seems like a better deal.

What drivers do I need for a new PC? I already have the CPU and graphics cards down.

Today my brilliant friend who has broken items that are more expensive than your entire computer was finally building his new comp after the i7 incident...
He got it up and running, installed all the drivers and started playing some games after installing steam.
Then his entire computer shut down. What was the problem? He thought that it would make the CPU life longer if the stock cooler's thermal paste never touched the CPU or something, so he kept the plastic on his CPU Cooler (stock intel one, may i mind you).
His mobo and processor are fried, though he got a waranty this time so it's probably going to be covered...
... he hopes.

fake
the computer wouldn't even pass installing windows because it would have shut down from overheating a long time beforehand
get your stuff straight

i have to outdo you on every thing so i'm getting something slightly above your build (meanly oc'd 7950s, which is in the ballpark of 7990 power and a 26", a 24", and a 24")

Your "friend" shouldn't be purchasing computer hardware if he has no idea what to do with them.

Doing 2 GTX 670s in SLI + 3 24" monitors as well. The mismatching monitors you want to do will look really weird even though they're a similar res.

Also if anyone can find me a triple monitor stand that 1. supports 24" monitors, 2. is under $150 and 3. has good reviews that would be lovely
