Setting up new machine - Advice needed please

I would also recommend you upgrade to 12 gigs of RAM mainly due to Dalaran.

Also the 295 is not the best choice for dual monitors. The 295 is in fact two cards SLId in on package and while the drivers have come a long way its performance on two monitors will not be that great. I know this from personal experience I bought a 295 and it performed worse than my single 265.

Take it for what it is I have my Masters in computers and work in the field so I like to think I know my way around computers. So I know my drivers and everything were ok. This was about 6 months ago so the drivers may be better today. I currently run a 285 with my main, 30 inch monitor, maxxed out and he gets average 150 FPS. The four slaves are all turned down to min.
