Alright everyone. My name is Brad P. I'm new to this forum.

I'm trying to get input into a new gaming/CAD rig. Currently, I'm using my M17x Alienware laptop as a main computer. It's nice however for CAD and dynamic analysis its a pain.

Specs on laptop:
Intel Core i7 820QM 1.73GHz 8MB Cache
Dual 1GB ATI Radeon HD 4870 in CrossfireX
6GB DDR3 at 1333MHz
Samsung 256 GB SSD
Win 7 Ult.

I'm looking to Upgrade to a desktop with multi monitor set-up. Roughly a 5,000 - 5,500 dollar budget to accomplish this.

I'm looking to get opinions on monitors (2,3,4 etc) and a proper components that would work the best.

I need this for 3-D design/CAD work mostly. Gaming would be mild.

Brad P.
