New PC advice

[ShotInTheAss86]

Right, I'm on the verge of purchasing a new PC, have had my eye on the Vanquish pre build for awhile. Considering making some changes to the order, but some helpful advise before I do so would be great.

1. swapping the 5870 1024MB for the Powercolor 5870 2048MB eyefinity - I will only be using the 1 Monitor (my old 19" CRT) until I can afford to replace it with a new display set-up hopefully next month. feel free to offer opinions on good monitors for photo editing/gaming so I can start to price them up.

2. changing the psu to a modular one but unsure if they are worth the extra money to do away with a few cables? Or any other benefits I've not noticed from them.

THANKS Vinni3 for the fast response

no more than 3 displays, the price is the same for the two cards. Would I not see a improvement in future games having the increased memory on the card?

I've read some reviews on the 902 case and I got the impression it would be easy enough to keep the cables under control and out of the way - anyone got a 902 with a non modular psu to confirm or disagree with this?

I think I'll skip on the modular PSU as it'll be the highly eperienced chaps at OCUK building this Rig I'm sure they do a great job with keeping those pesky cables strapped down and out the way.

I reckon I'll stay with the standard 5870 buying the eyefinity just means I'll have an excuse to spend more money on Monitors that I could probably get by without. The standard card should be enough I hope (and appears to come with codes which = free games) cant say no to that
