Please take the following into consideration and offer suggestions for upgrades to graphics processing capability. The Motherboard, CPU, Ram, and PSU are all new. The Graphics card is recycled.
GIGABYTE GA-Z68X-UD5-B3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor BX80623I72600K
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-17000CL11D-8GBXL
OCZ ModXStream Pro 700W Modular High Performance Power Supply compatible with Intel Sandybridge Core i3 i5 i7 and AMD Phenom
EVGA 512-P3-N884-AR GeForce 9800 GTX+ Superclocked Edition 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported
SSD Program drive and mechanical data drive.
I run games at 1680x1050 but would like to increase to 1920x1080(1200) with a new monitor. If I want a second monitor, should I get another weaker dedicated card to throw in an open slot for best performance?
Currently on stock air cooling in a new case as I work on rebuilding my water-cooling loop.
Budget options, I would like to see a $150, $250, and $350 option if you can muster it!
Thanks all
