Hi, I am ready for a new pc I will have about £700 to spend I don't require keyboard, mouse, OS, or sound card I will be wanting to run eyefinity I already have two 24" SyncMaster p2450 monitors but will require another one. I have all the cables to run 3 has third monitor blow up a few months ago. I have an old Corsair HX620w PSU. My main use will be gaming but I do a bit of Photoshop work also. Would like SSD.


Thanks;)

Final check I think...
 
ts 140 wouldnt fit in that case iirc. the heatsink is 170mm tall
you're better off getting a ts 120 instead

and yea, vertex 4 is better than the agility
 
I would personally ignore both. The OCZ has faster read/write speeds, but people seem to think OCZ drives are unreliable (they aren't 'unreliable' they just aren't as reliable as some competitor brands), the Crucial M4 is supposedly extremely reliable, but the write speeds are relatively poor. I would personally go with a Corsair Force 3. Best of both worlds and only a little more expensive.
 
its mostly the sandforce part that is not reliable, m4 never used one
the vertex4 doesnt use one
the corsair force 3 does use one ><
 
Most eyefinity rigs run Xfire. A single 7850 should run BF3 on medium over the 3 screens, although it might be worth getting a SLI/Xfire capable mobo so you could drop in another GPU later.

I have a Z9 case, it's a good starters case with lots of kit but there is now a USB3 version that OCuk doesnt stock yet. The side mesh does let in dust so i've spec'd the shinobi with a proper window as an alternative.

The asrock mobo does SLI/Xfire but is an mATX mobo, the GB Z77X-D3H is a little more cash but arguably a better mobo and is full sized (ATX)

Crucial M4 has a new firmware out to speed the write speeds up now ?
