Signature Build

[Raiden619]

Hello Everyone,

I'm planning on making a new build, but for this kind of build I would like to mimic the speed of a previous build (Signature) I had made and would like to use the latest hardware available now. Hoping this is possible or even convenient.

I noticed the Mobo has onboard video. Any precautions I should take when installing the Video Card? Ex. Ignore connections on Mobo and plug monitor to video card or when installing OS I should plug monitor into Mobo.


Like always thanks for your help.



Would the video card you listed allow for eyefinity of 3 monitors

Yes it would but you may need adapters. If you have 2 other monitors let us know what cables are on it. DVI, HDMI, or VGA.

I don't have the them yet but I will sometime in the future, they'll be the same ones GLC recommended.

Thanks

The onboard video is actually in the processor. Install Windows with the video card - then if you want you can use Lucid Virtu to "team" the onboard video with the card.
