It's hustling along really nice! Is that strictly for work? Or do you sneak an online game in there from time to time? Them 2 1080's should kick out some great graphics.
This brings me up to my current topic on PC's and monitors. I hate to sound so newbish but lets just call me a "user" and not a builder. I have a new 27" LCD monitor that has a rez of up to 3840x2160 @ 30Hz. I want to use that, but I believe it's my Vid card that is limiting me to 1920x1080 @ 60hzWhen I go into the settings, all I can get out of it is the max of 1920x1080 and is too blurry for me and my work.Is it a better Vid card that I need? Using Nvidia now.
yea resolution is going to be card related.good build Brandt. The price on that i7 is fantastic right now. Only change I would have made, assuming you're cool spending a few hundred more (which it looks like you would have been considering the rest of the build) would have been to go with a Xeon instead. Bit more expensive, but better long term cpu solution and better for multitasking etc. Basically server grade vs gamer grade.
