Hi guys. I'm trying to build a nice computer that will support gaming on 3 u2410's. I have 2 of these monitors right now and I'm planning to pick up another one in the future. I'd like to save money where I can but want some bang for the buck.

Here is my plans:

Intel i5 2500k

p8p67 pro

CM 212+

HSI Radeon 6950 unlocked to 6970

8 GSKILL Rip Jaws DDR3 1600

1TB Samsung F3

NZXT PHANTOM CASE (still looking around)

CORSAIR 750 HX Power

Total cost is a little over $1100 and I will probably need a cheap optical drive, then maybe upgrade to an ssd in the future.

Do you think the 750hx power supply will be enough? There is always the possibility of upgrading to crossfire in the future.

Never tried eyefinity but I want to try out all the games that are supported.

Thanks for any replies
 
I have similar setup. I don't know how well you'll do without 2x 6950's. Very similar. Even down to the case. :)
 
Sandy Bridge will work with DDR3 1333 RAM, but make sure that you pick up 1.5V RAM.

NewEgg has an i5-2500k/Asus P8P67 Pro bundle deal.

I don't know whether the HX750 will be enough for dual 6950/6970 CF.

Yeah I have a Silverstone 1000w PSU for my dual 6950's. Works great. Modular. Make sure PSU is modular too.
 
Modular is not a necessity, per se, but it does help with wire management.

You can get by with a good 750 or 850 watt power supply if it has at least 70A in the 12V rail(s). That power requirement (the 70A bit) is what we normally recommend for a high-end SLI or CF system.
