So a friend of mine..

[Ualaa]

I'm running two monitors, off of a 1GB GTX 570.
They're 27" Samsungs, with 1920x1080 resolution.

IS Boxer renders five regions at 1920x1040 (I have the taskbar visible).
The master is on one, and the four slaves on the other.

My master is capped at 60 FPS, the slaves at 20 FPS.
The slaves are on minimal settings, except about 1/3rd for view distance.
The master is on medium-high settings, with maxed view distance.
Shadows & Weather Effects are off, across the team.

I'd think a 3GB GTX 580 will be more than adequate.

the 680 4GB is out soonish. Should cost close to what the 580 3GB goes for.

....as long as you don't slam your system memory with Chrome, Vegas and a bunch of other stuff running at the same time.

.... Perhaps I don't need 30 browser tabs open at once.

I agree that it would definitely be cheaper to build it from new parts yourself. Heck, even pay your friend $100 to put it together for you and you'd come out ahead.

So anyone got a date for the 680? It can support 4 monitors, so might just wait for that card. But does the rest of the pc spec look good?

the 2GB is out now.. the first batched sold out in minutes. im sure a bunch will come out soon.. not sure about 4GB versions

The 2 Gig 680 costs 558 euros in Norway.... But back to my other question, does the PC spec I linked on page 2 look viable?

I just need confirmation from you guys that this system will support 4 WoW windows divided on 4 screens is possible. And that I`ll be able to play while streaming without having any major problems in wPvP, 40 man BGs and SW.

Nikita, any reason why you aren't going with an Ivy Bridge i7? Also, the P67 chipset mobo is two generations old already. Z68 replaced the P67 and the Z77 is replacing the Z68.

So I updated the P67 to a Z77, thou I dont understand the difference. Care to explain?

I couldnt find Ivy Bridge i7 on the site Im ordering from, so what kind of processor would you pick?
Isnt Intel® Core i7-2600K Processor a good choice?
