Is this a good spec?

Asus P67 Sabertooth Intel P67 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard ** B3 REVISION

Intel Core i7-2600K 3.40GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor

Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-15000C9 1866MHz

Long time since i used intel stuff, also im looking at possibly going down the triple monitor route later on, what graphics route should i take for that nvidia/ati single or sli?

580 is the daddy at the moment. Then 570, 6950 2GB, 560ti, 6870...

Triple monitor will require SLI, and most likely crossfire if for gaming, although a single ATI card supports 3 monitors, using the displayport and the two DVIs. Or one of those 6950 FLEX that allow triple monitors on DVI. Not many screens support displayports, or they are expensive. You can also get a powered displayport adapter to convert to DVI / HDMI, but they are expensive.

Depends how much you have, how much you wanna spend, and when you will go triple monitor is ever.

I would personally get the best single GPU you can, and given your PSU and your motherboard (which should SLI / XFire fine), get another one later (much later if you take a 580 since they are so expensive :)).

If you are planning on triple monitor soon and want something reasonably priced, then a GTX 570. Then your monitors and another GTX 570.Cheaper than the 580, and two of them will do triple monitors (1080p) gaming at high settings.

580 SLI better of course, but it's all a budget thing.

If you want triple monitor just for desktop / work, then an ATI, unless you have the budget for dual 560ti / 570.
