and no, that gpu could not game on all three.

Lol, not gaming on all 3 at once. I mean, gaming on one, while probably in an IDE debugging said game on the other 2 monitors.

If anyone's wondering, heres what I'm planning on getting:

buying 3 monitors to do that is a total waste of money
don't do it

[SiliconCactus]

hook it up to a displayport splitter and you're golden

but still

I mean, I'd love to play league of legends across the monitors, but I can't afford a gpu that can do that.
Well, at least not at that resolution.

I tend to want alot of space while coding, I dunno why.
My current duo monitor setup just isn't cutting it. :u

[Titanium Man]

you guys and your dual and triple monitors
i just use one

[Kumquat]

I have only have one.
because it was all I could afford

[MegaScientifical]

I would say go for the third one. Definitely don't go for the second one (its only 3.0 gb/s). I'm unsure of what bare drive means, you might have to google it, but worst case all it means is that it doesn't come with a SATA cable, which you can buy from newegg for cheap and still stay under 119 total

Hmm. Well, I narrowed the list to 6.0GB/s and 7200RPM, and the one you said is the top of that list while within my price range. I'm not sure what I'd do with that USB card - not even sure my setup would be compatible with it. According to the other pictures, it does come with SATA cables. I still might need some instruction on how I'd put it together, though... Trey, do I have you on Steam under another name?

2 questions - is the i7 3770k good enough for gaming, and is it futureproof?

and what is the best laptop my friend can get for 1300-1500 bucks?

[The Big Bad Jellyfish]

Is this motherboard any good for gaming?

People say that the i5 3570k is good for gaming.

[Aphtonites]

I've counted up all the monies I've been saving over the past few years, and it came down to £420


Time to buy new parts, hooray!
