Thanks in advance Badboyzasr I'd be worried with 3x3D monito... |

| Save $100USD and get a 2500K. You aren't going to lose anything noticeable when gaming. For motherboards, I believe only Gigabyte's UD7 boards have support for x16/x16 dual card-most LGA1155 boards only do x8/x8, x16/x4 or x16/x8. |

| Depends on the game and format. If you're talking an RTS and how much battlefield can be viewed at once...in a multiplayer game I could see a great, not necessarily "fair" advantage. OTOH, considering how many big name *single-player* titles are openly shipping with intentionally broken multi-monito... |

DX9 titles can be run fairly high, but many recent titles need cut down graphics to keeps framerates decent. Your proposed setup would have a less powerful GPU, in addition to anot... |

| Eyefinity and Nvidia Surround requires that all panels output the same resolution. If your panels do not, then the drivers will scale back your panel(s) to the largest common resolution. Hence your x1200 panel is running at 1280x1024 like your side panels, and your total resolution is 3840x1024. Wit... |

| You don't need to "deactivate" Eyefinity. Just hop on ATI's driver website, you want to download an extra package called HydraGrid. You can set it up however you want so that the "maximize" button snaps the windows to preset sizes. For example in the below screencap of my current desktop, All I did ... |

You can set it up however you want...by default once enabled it should detect your bezel breaks just fine, and most applications are smart enoug... |

I'm trying Steam version and it isn't working...Granted I could be being stupid, haven't used that tool before. |

Noice!
Only critique I'd give you is to be mindful of your coolant and blocks. Most of those dyes settle out of the liquid clogging blocks, necessitating cleaning. Best way for color is colored tubing IMHO. |
