Thanks for your help, sorry if I'm being picky, but I really want a higher end pc that will last and can be somewhat future proof. I don't mind spending $1000+ on a nice rig. I want a nice NZXT case or corsair. I was thinking about a mini case

You could have said that from the beginning. Obviously a small case (ITX) is not going to fit a full size (ATX) motherboard.

 

[manu2b]

You said your want tostay below $50, and now you say you don't mind spending $1000+

Then go GTX 970

Now, I want to be able to set up dual monitors for gaming! I saw that you have to have a graphics card with some type of DVI if I'm correct, can you explain that to me and how to set up dual monitors

 

[ATMINSIDE]

Gaming is typically done on one or three monitors, not two.

I think he just wants a second monitor for "other apps" and "just cuzz".

Basically, you don't need any specific connector type for anything. Say you have 2 1080P monitors, both with DVI, and your card has 2 dvi ports, you can hook them up with DVI. If 1 monitor is HDMI and the other is display port, you hook them up to display port and HDMI, and so forth. It's all pretty self explanatory and you tweak it through the display section of the control panel and through the NVidia/AMD graphics control panels.

^That what I think as well...

Sure about that ocnoob?

I guess my intermittent dyslexia missed that part.

Ya, no, OP, you don't want to game on 2 monitors. That would look very weird, and any games where the crosshair was in the middle of the screen would be very screwy to play. You need 3 monitors. That puts a lot more stress and demands on the GPU, since 3 1080P monitors mean the card basically has to work 3X as hard, meaning lower framerates. For 3X1080P I would really look at 2 GTX 970s.

 

[manu2b]

Yes, ATMINSIDE's right then: you don't want the bezel replacing the crosshair!

An ssd is the best option to choose in terms of stirage for os. Decide on one for sure. I use a 240gb Kingston hyperX its excellent if its on special offer. Im UK btw!

Kingston SSDs are the devil dude, sorry to say. They are made with HORRIBLE Nand. Horrible. Steer clear.

Some yes, some no.
It varies model to model.

AFAIK they're all "meh" if not "bad". You can do better for the money.

They range from bad to mid range, but their prices on the mid range stuff is aggressive.

I would take a reasonably priced, better midrange SSD over an aggressively priced Kingston SSD. JM2C. I appreciate where you're coming from though.
