Finally

[B_Wease]

Just built my first computer and got it up and running today!

Specs-

AMD Phenom II 6Core 3.2 GHz
4 GIG DDR3 RAM
HIS Radeon 5870 Turbo Eyefinity 1GIG DDR5

My Goal was to build a rocket gaming computer. So far I think I've done good. Total so far is 1624.83 I still need to get a better monitor. I'm looming at re 27' samsung LCD monitor, only problem is I plan to get eyefinity up and going soon and I don't feel like spending 1200 on 3 monitors. Does anyone know much about eyefinity or know some good solid bit affordable monitors?

Last question is about overclocking. My motherboard has a dial on it that will allow me to overclocking my CPU just with the turn of a dial. Is this dangerous to turn up?

(also plan on getting a seccond duplicate video card in the next couple months. Is that overkill for gaming?)


Thanks!

First of all thats one killer rig, I recommend you stick with samsung with monitors as they are reliable. Not sure you will need 3 27" though maybe look at one 27" and stick the rest < 25" to save a bit of cash. Lastly i wouldn't touch this dial until you have read the manual front to back and know exactly it does.

if running dual or triple i would suggest keeping them the same if money is not a problem. Im using two duals Samsung Syncmaster 24".
Its about keeping it esthetically correct. Moving from one screen to another. just a suggestion. Different size screens i do not think work well.
