Ok here is the base unit that I am interested in:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-266-OE&groupid=43&catid=2475&subcat=2489

Graphics card upgraded to GTX 670 +£99.96
Primary Hard Drive changed to Samsung SSD 120 gig + £12.00
Secondary Hard Drive Samsung 2TB + £68.99
Windows 7 Home Premium

That is the main details of the system, would that all work together or am I going overkill in certain areas?

Secondly would be the monitors, I am looking to have a dual screen setup so firstly would the above system run that comfortably?

And the monitors I am looking at are:

Any extra advice would be great or anywhere you think I could make some changes would be much appreciated.

Cheers
 
I assume that you will be using one for gaming and the other for normal usage?

I would go with 2 of the same monitor personally, but yes the 670 would be able to handle those monitors. Perhaps a better solution would be to ask ocuk swap the 670 out for a 770, or maybe just get one monitor and a 780 and then purchase another monitor later.
 
Yeah sorry I should have made it more clear it was going to be 2 of the same and the two links that I posted were just to see which was the better/more useful monitor really.

As for the graphics, (stupid question sorry but...) is there a big difference between the 670 and the 770? And then a bigger difference upto the 780?

Thanks for helping!!
 
670vs770 not a lot in it and the 670 is a bit cheaper.

There is the option of going the amd route, for 2 1080p monitors it would be worth investing in a card with a bit more vram, however 2gb is still plenty.

I would go for the most pwerful card you can afford personally as it will last you longer and with the prodigy you dont have the option of SLI
 
So I was thinking of waiting for the new i5's to start getting into bundles and having a 760 or 770? Wise or am I spending money on area's that it is not needed?
