My new rig

damn, $513 for a video card that has probably no gaming capibilities? why not get a 7800 for about $490ish, and a cheap pci radeon 7000 for the other 2 monitors?


pretty nice rig i guess, but why would you ever need 4 20.1" LCD's? why not 2 24" dells or something?

​
 
It's for poker.

Is there a disadvantage to getting a good AGP card for 2 monitors and a crappy PCI one for the other 2? Do any 2 cards work together like that or only certain ones?
 
i don't think there are any disadvantages to it, i mean with a 7800 you would be able to play any game on the market at maxed out settings, and you will still be able to run your 4 monitors.

if you are only playing poker you could build a much less expensive system than that, but i don;t know what your other plans include

do you plan on doing any 3d gaming> video eding> image processing> or anything else out of the ordinary? or is it only for poker?
 
Just poker. I need hyperthreading though, and a large hard drive, and lots of ram. But, if I can get a good video card and a pci one for the same price as that xentera though, I might as well.
 
Why 530J? I'd go for a 600 series socket-T chip. I don't know much about your video card.
 
you are one dedicated poker player if ur spending all that just for it...

with 4 20in monitors i would expect some heavy photoshop audio video editing stuff
 
Why's the 600 socket T better?

And the poker tables are 800x600. I need the 4 monitors to play 16 at a time with no overlap.
 
All that for poker is a waste of money IMO but hey what you want to do.
 
damn, 16 games of poker at once. you must be hardcore!

how much do you spend/make per week on poker?
 
you've got a big problem here - you're trying to put a LGA 775 CPU in socket 478 - you know this won't work.... and about the vid card - do what other guys suggested..

It would support 64bit (later on when you need it). If you picked that you have to change the motherboard, too. Something like this .
