Spec Me - Triple 24" Setup

[Teledude]

Right need to upgrade my old Acer Laptop as doing more and more working from home

Currently have a single LG 24" panel and looking at getting another 2 for some serious desktop real estate

Day to day tasks -

web surfing
office - big ppt's and visio diagrams
system administration work
webex
etc

I multi task heavily and must support Windows 7/8 x64

I'm thinking..

SB
8GB RAM
No idea on GPU
SSD boot drive
1TB+ Data
DVDRW

Don't need anything except the tower unit - probably wont look to o/c heavily if at all

Looking to spend 600-1k.

have a look at the ivybridge 3570K processor.

ssd wise check the crucial m4 128gb.

graphics card wise, maybe the ati 7850/7870 or nvidia 570/580.

GPUwise, if your wanting three monitors just about any AMD will support 3 monitors off one card, as for nvidia only the new 6000 series will support 3 monitors off of one card.

CPUwise if you building from scratch you might as well go for the new ivy bridge, as these will provide the best proforamnce. Although on the other hand the SB i5 2500K is still cracking value and by no means being pushed by work loads, if you want to save a few quid!
