of course then add the monitors
Does this second option warrant the extra price - tag?

both options have 2 cards the first just lists them not in the same place, one is further down, what i want to know is if the second system is much better than the first as its quite allot more cash.

ok so you think the first option is more than able to do what i need it to. All I wanna do is play 4 accounts on four monitors good graphics and lag free.

Edited by: Ladrial on 16/06/2011 18:18:32 Edited by: Ladrial on 16/06/2011 18:16:49 So the first option will do what i want it to do then?
I dont mind if its overkill I dont know much about pcs, so like i did with the one I have now im happy to spend maybe too much cash if it means i havent gotta touch the thing for 5yrs +.
Is that the sort of thing that system (the one i opened the post with) will do? If so im happy.
I just want to play four accounts on four monitors graphically maxed out, but perhaps more importantly I dont want to upgrade bits or get anything else for a good few years.
Will that do what i am saying? I do not want to have to upgrade this or that if the game changes or gets more demanding, I know thats an odd approach but thats what i prefer.

Edited by: Ladrial on 16/06/2011 18:37:00 so why are the intel options so much more expensive then? Are they less future proof/up-gradeable or are the intel just better? I am not argueing you obviously know much more about this than me im just trying to understand, help me!

Yeah I loked again at the extra items costs and feel that I will very much downgrade them,I dont need the speakers that expensive or the mouse and key board. But every up to date machine seems to go for an i7 processor. As i said I dot know much about this stuff and with the changes happening to the game i dont want to get caught out just after buying a new machine.

I think the system that "Takashi Sama" posted (Thanks), does indeed look very good as they are great graphics cards. I have said how I would like to remain upgradable and future-proof if possible so I am now looking at getting a better mother-board to be able to upgrade/improve.
Does my statement about a better motherboard make sense? I was thinking something like this: Rampage III It says this has six memory slots and can take 3 cards in sli and support more RAM
Ok but then I have been reading about the socket and that one is 1366 which the cpu isnt the i7 2600k is a 1155 socket. It seems the 1366 sockets offer more scope for better motherboards which ultimately seem to have a major affect on the machines future capabilities.
Is the 1155 socket going become out of date? Will the 1366 socket live longer? If im talking absolute s**t please say so Im learning!

I now intend to have 3 monitors one large and two small and run 3 -5 clients I hope the machine above will do this if not I really don't want it!
The guy on the phone at scan really couldn't understand why I didn't want it over clocked he was quite surprised in fact.
Those cards I have in the build as recommended by another poster are 2GB each so I hope they can run 3-5 accounts on 3 Monitors. Trouble is adding a third card really limits which mobo you can go for.
