Hi guys

Looking to upgrade my pc shortly - currently running an AMD phenom 2 quad at 3.2gz, 4gb 1066 kingston ram and a 5850 with an Vertex 64gb SSD.

The build will be used for gaming only really, the monitor i use is 1980x1200 but i also have 2 other monitors id like to use along with it on racing/flight games where the resolution would be 5040 x 1050 as smallest screen has a resolution of 1680 x 1050.

I'm planning on keeping the 5850 and SSD for now, putting in another SSD for some raid action, and using the 5850 until i have decided what GPU i want. Either a 580, another 5850 or one of the new cards coming out soon. Then i will sell my old pc.

Here's the spec

Any suggestions or alternative specs welcome. And suggestions on GPU welcome too (bit worried about crossfire/micro stutter issues tbh)
 
Went with that HD because it was the Sata 6GB/S - is there not much of a difference between that and Sata II?

Wanted a psu thats capable of running 1 x optical, 2x ssd, 1x storage, 2x graphics cards and overclocked. Havn't really got a budget for the graphics to be honest, wanted something top of the range to last a few years. I probably wouldnt go SLI hence looking at the 580, but if i did have 2 GPU's it would appear to make sense to just buy another 5850? Again a bit concerned of the issues associated with crossfire/sli.

Could the 580 not run 3 monitors by itself?
