3.6k Video Editing/Gaming PC
Ok so I plan on building my pc for the first time next month. I have no experience with this, but have watched a few videos showing how. And it seems fairly easy.
I have decided to go for a three monitor setup, little for gaming. But most of all for streaming and multi tasking while doing so, along with video editing. The only doubt I have on this, Is what parts should I go for and if everything would function fine together. So far this is my setup I have come up with using newegg.com This is my first time so I would appreciate all the help I get. Im having doubts on the the psu, not so sure. http://i51.tinypic.com/11uiz6d.jpg http://i55.tinypic.com/2zgyaza.jpg http://i54.tinypic.com/30u7bl5.jpg The total is $3,630.00 As for an hard drives I bought a few from my local pc shop already. I'm also wondering If I would be able to install the Black magic intensity pro on this build, since I will be having two gtx 580's 3GB each? Bare with me im totally new to this! Amazon.com: Blackmagic Design Intensity Pro HDMI Editing Card with PCI Express: Computers & Accessories Blackmagic Design: Intensity Oh and if everything will fit with out a problem in the case, have good air flow? Thank you for your time! Last edited by glc; 08-30-2011 at 12:26 AM. Reason: Convert large inline images to links |

It can't, it still requires SLI. |

I'm still finding conflicting information - but if it can't, it would be MUCH more cost-effective to go with Eyefinity. You only need one card, and you don't need a monster power supply. The other option is a cheap second card for the 3rd monitor, NOT running SLI.

I have read that as long as you are not gaming on one of the monitors there is a way to support the third monitor by using a USB to DVI cable? Not sure if there is truth to that or not... |

From what I understand the Fermi architecture will not allow 3 monitors on 1 card no matter what. This is supposed to be solved with the upcoming Kepler release. |
