[Simonnn]

Hi, I posted a few weeks ago about needing a new comp for uni, mainly design and 3d work that I'll be doing as well as playing games. Fenderbass gave me the spec below, im now at the point where I want to order so was hoping somebody could check the spec and see if over the last couple of weeks anythings changed that could improve it with out costing any more, if not ill go ahead and order it, Thanks

Could I run a double monitor setup from this also?

 

[Gopher_By_Fende]

you should have no trouble running dual monitors on that rig, the gpu has dual dvi and seems beefy enough, so i dont see why not, the only question is if you can afford another monitor, but i suppose you can always get another one at a later date

Thanks, the college my dad works at replaces their systems every two years and they may have some spare monitors going free, so just wanted to know if I have that option if they do come through
