Preferably not more than £900 and a good enough graphics card to handles games such as Shogun 2: Fall of the samurai. Please give specific computers and ones that can easily be bought from a well known retailer.

Answer
i5 and Gaming, what a great combination, high performance without the high price. The Eos is blessed with a Third Generation Intel i5 3450 CPU running at 3.1Ghz, and 3.5Ghz when you need it thanks to turbo mode 2.0, on a reliable ASUS P8H61-M LE motherboard that produces rock solid performance. Armed with a whopping 4GB of Corsair XMS3 DDR3 RAM, 500GB of storage all topped off with a 1GB Nvidia GTX 550 Ti this will surely satisfy your gaming needs.

650w Power Supply

I need a good graphics card that will run three monitors for gaming at a good price?

I play World of Warcraft and I want to run three monitors so I need a new card. I want something good but no anything that will break the bank. Any help is appreciated! thanks!

Answer
to run it across 3 monitors (play game on all 3 at same time) on good - ultra settings on decent resolotion i would recomend a minium of a 560gtx ti +

around £130 or about $200 http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=01G-P3-1561-AR

you could also use the hd 6970 but there around £40 rougly $70 more and from benchmarks ive done only 8% better performance based on 4 games i tested even on multiple screens

if you got the cash tho i would go for something more like the 580gtx ti or even 590gtx or if you wanna be really flash a 690gtx but that is overkill


or the new decent priced badboy the 660 gtx ti should handle it no problem although i have heard on certain games the 560gtx ti still performance a bit better but on the benchmarks ive seen the 660gtx ti destroys the 560gtx ti by a average of 30%-50% increased frame per sec based on 5 games

but for decent preformance on decent settings your looking really at £200+ $330+ aprox

the other ways round it is reducing quality and resolution and turning of unnecessary things like shadows etc doing that running on low resolution can probs get away with a 450gts but the performance will suffer it will not be a solid framrate (may spike even with things turnt of and low)

oo if you just wanted play on 1 and have youtube open on another and facebook on another for example just get the 560gtx ti will do ya fine

remember though rest of your pc has to be up to scratch to handle it to stop bottle necking etc


edit
-1 ??? why whats wrong with that statement the question has so few details and only asked for a card to handle it all thoese cards i listed can and went in to detail about each 1, i have personally benched marked all the cards i listed apart from the 660 gtx ti which i have seen bench marked on a stock i7 3.4ghz stocked with 8gb 1600mhz ram and then compared to the 560 gtx ti on the same rig 40 mins later on the 5 games we tested as i said the 660 gtx ti showed a average increase frame rate of 30%-50% depending on the game all running at 1920x1080 admittedly never bothered to test across 3 screens at 5760 x 1080 but realistically who does bench mark at that i got 4 screen currently connected to this rig but if i play games i play on 1 have youtube and crap open on others not a every day thing to run a game across 3 screens

personally i think every think i said is 100% accurate if any 1 wants to point out whats not please do but based on the only detail we got apart from run a game across 3 screens was "I want something good but no anything that will break the bank" depends how bigs your bank which why i went up to cards like the 590 gtx ok its around £500 ($800) but hay break bank is not a budget to some people break the bank is under £100 others nothing over £1000

oo 1 other thing that might be -1 prices i live in uk have no idea what prices are in usa in local stores my prices are based on uk prices converted you may find its actually cheaper than that due to tax reasons (uk has 20% tax on all items VAT) or might be more maybe usa is higher i don't know

for example £500 to $ is $809 hence i said about the 590GTX "ok its around £500 ($800)" maybe stores in the usa sells them cards for $700 as a RRP i don't live there i don't know usa prices
