thx guys. Unfortunately because of the way my apartment is set-up ethernet cable is not possible - has to be wireless.
Yeah - I am aware that it is a bit overkill but dont mind spending a bit more and will be good to have a system to play games on if the trading doesn't work out
Overall though - decent system? any improvements?0 -

That comes to well over a grand once you add the cost of the mobo and shipping
€880 delivered:
Generally the same spec all around minus the keyboard/mouse combo but with added wifi. IMHO there are a lot of cases that are heaps better than the original 900 nowadays 0 -

That looks great Solitaire - always happy to save a bit of money and will probably mostly go with your suggestions
I read that a 2GB GPU would be required/better to run 4 monitors - is the card you suggested ok? Also, the mobo I had came highly recommended on another forum? Do others agree with the Solitaires suggestions?
Cheers - pretty much ready to buy so keen to get some last minute opinions /advice0 -
Oops! Forgot that it was a 1GB card!
It really depends on whether you want to game on all the monitors via Eyefinity or not. Generally you'd need multiple high-end GPUs to get decent FPS out of a whole bunch of 1080p monitors though If they were available over here the best setup is usually a HD6870 and a HD6870X2, effectively giving a normally impossible Tri-Fire HD6870 (as they cards only have one CrossFire header each) which can beat the stuffing out of a HD6990/GTX590 while being far cheaper. Anything else will be crazy-expensive, have cooling issues and won't really work too well on even a top-end LGA1155 setup as the lack of PCIe lanes would bottleneck you.
Two-GPU multicard setups are almost always considered more trouble than they're worth as the drivers are always optimised to emphasise raw FPS over stability for the marketing material, causing horrible jitter in real-life gameplay
Three-GPU CrossFire/SLi is the logical first step beyond a single GPU as the drivers aren't optimised to pull off that ass-jerk and will remain silky-smooth
