Well he said he's got 3 1920x1200 monitors. So assuming he's gaming with eyefinity at 5760x1200, he would realistically need a minimum of 2 HD7970 level cards to have good frame rates in bf3.

So the choice is the eyefinity, the cards are simply what he needs to power such a set up.

(This is all assuming he is gaming in eyefinity of course)

As for 3 top-end graphic cards, like I said, setup a five screen Eyefinity of 24" 1920x1200's.
the point is you sound like a shallow muppet. there's a big difference between taking care of how you look and putting your entire, frail self-image and ego on a fucking german car brand. stop being so hideously cliche and asian-american. it must suck to live a life of such two-dimensionality.

also i'm pretty sure i could pull at a club without any signposts for the school i went to or the car i drive on me. what do you do, wear a ferrari t-shirt or something? then again i'm not some wretched-looking peon that needs flashy wealth to make up for my insecurities. sounds like you're the sort of douchenozzle that rolls up to a club and buys a vip-booth seat with a big bottle of expensive vodka so you can show off to all the 'laydeez' just what an alpha you are.

And what's wrong with that? 

For the BMW, it was an example.  I'm in SoCal, so it's the hard reality here, love it or hate it.

The BMW is just an example.  But we digress.

So, you have your answer on the need for 3 top-tier GPU's?  And just because you don't feel the need for a tri-screen does not invalidate it.

i never tried to invalidate it. i was curious. tech-geek over there was so happy with his new toys that he didn't even care to explain why he bought them. that's fair enough. nothing of great importance has been lost here.

Pre-kids, I was about the same.  My next primary build will probably be similar though, but with just two GPU's and avoiding the Vertex.  I'm also looking into those 27" LG IPS panels coming out soon.

Got myself a 4-bay external HDD case and a slimline external DVD drive, letting me fuck off a whole bunch of cables and adapters. Removing the top HDD bays also let me add in a fourth fan, so now my case once again has an intake, rather then just three exhausts.

Core i7 950

Asus Rampage III Gene

Decided to re-angle the CPU cooler and improve the wire tuck for better air flow.  Also painted the PSU to match everything else.
