back to boxing... insight into a decent build

[Sam DeathWalker]

You're still making little sense. And no, it's not just better to go with two computers if you decided to use two cards, mainly for the overall heat, power, space, and money concerns for a build with a set budget. With the motherboard the OP has chosen it's a simple matter of getting another graphics card and plugging it in. There's no reason to get another computer.

So, why are you telling us that he needs two graphics cards/computers to drive two 2 2560 x 1440 displays?

Its not so simple given that WoW dosn't officially support SLI, thats not to say you can't make it work but its a can of worms that better avoided imho. Generally speaking, for the same money, two computers will give you more results then one super computer. But he is going i7 920/930, wisely, so maybe he can't currently afford two computers .... With $750 each you can cobble together two 920 x58 computers if you go basic. Actually he is spending $2250 max budget; buying wholesale he can EASY make two 930 x58 computers.

Also as those very very high resolutions its not clear that you won't saturate the PCI bus, although thats really hard to do on a X58 system two high res sli cards might do it - who knows. At any rate a lot of the high end single cards have two gpus and single cards dont suffer from the problems that sli has so a single card duel gpu driving 2 monitors is fine.


I would get a 1G ram card though.
