Hi I am building a new system by upgrading almost all of my computer parts. I was wondering if these components are all compatible with each other: Graphics card: Radeon HD 4850 X2 2GB 512-bit (256-bit x 2) GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Processor: Radeon HD 4850 X2 2GB 512-bit (256-bit x 2) GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Motherboard: ASUS P5Q-E LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail 8-Phase power optimize OC crossfireX, 2x LAN, stack cool 2 Memory: G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Power: PC Power & Cooling S75CF 750W EPS12V SLI NVIDIA SLI Certified (Dual 8800 GTX and below) CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply - Retail Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST3500320AS 500GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM Cooler: XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 120mm Rifle CPU Cooler - Retail Monitor: SAMSUNG 2693HM Glossy Black 26" 5ms DVI HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor with Height/Pivot Adjustments 400 cd/m2 DC 3000:1 Built in Speakers - Retail The total cost is $1300. Any suggestions or things I should change? thanks p.s will I be able to combine the power of both my graphics cards for one really good image or is it only practical for 3 or 4 screens?
Well running a 26'' monitor will probably require a huge resolution. So it's good that you chose a 4850x2 as your gpu. However, you didn't put what your cpu is gonna be. You double pasted. Based on what you put up here I'm guessing that you'll be getting a quad core or a new C2D. It will run two screens fine, not sure if your particular card model will support the dual link DVI allowing four screens.
