Hi OCF!
Long time lurker here who finally has the funds to build my first decent rig. The computer is going to be my main machine. It will be used as a multi tasking work machine with a little gaming here and there. Most importantly, I'm looking to run a 3 display (two 20" and one 22") setup, but would like the option of adding a fourth or fifth display.
My Part List:
Core i5 2500k
Asus P8Z68 (Right now I'm trying to decide between the P8Z68-V LE, P8Z68M-Pro, and the P8Z68-V Pro)
8GB ddr3
Geforce 9600gt <----Already have this from old build
I was wondering how many displays I could run using just the graphics on the P8Z68-V and my old 9600gt? My 9600gt has two dvi ports, and the Mobo has either 3 or 4 video ports depending on the model I choose (P8Z68M-Pro has a display port too). Am I able to run two displays on the 9600 gt and another one or two off the onboard graphics? Or am I only able to run one at a time?
Any help is greatly appreciated, I'm on a ever tightening budget so I want to make sure I get this right the first time.
