Hi,

I am looking to upgrade my computer before christmas. At present I have a dual core amd 3.0ghz with a asusrock motherboard and 3gb ddr2 ram and I am pretty tired of its speed now.

I would like a modest upgrade I would like the option to play games on the odd occasion but I mainly use photoshop/illustrator and for my business.

I want to keep my graphics card (gtx275), and I am going to keep my case (antec 300)

I would like the motherboard to be big enough to handle two graphics cards as I would like to purchase a 3rd monitor at some point.

I leaning towards intel ( I cannot use my nvidia chip on AMD these days anyway?)

No that's right, you need to match your motherboard socket to CPU manufacturer. :)

Could you stretch to a new graphics card? You'll get a cooler, more efficient solution and with the right choice, you'll be able to run 3 monitors anyway!!
 
I would probably look at upgrading my graphics card down the road, probably after christmas time. Are there graphics cards that can run 3 monitors without having to go sli?

Never heard of TeamGroup Elite RAM, is this stuff reliable? The heatsink on that bundle looks pretty huge will that be alright sitting in an Antec 300 case with the GTX 275?
