Thats the exact computer I bought. So tell me what i can do with that motherboard. So many different people with different ideas :3

The ram is 1600 DDR3. i have no idea what the 1600 is lol. Basically. My goal is to run crysis at full settings, so that in a few years. I will still be able to run newer games at a decent setting. How much will these new cards that come out in march cost? I have 3 games I am looking to buy in march lol.

oh on that 2560x1600 monitor, know of any that come with at least 1 HDMI spot? I dont want to have two TVs sitting around, one for games and one for my computer. All the ones on newegg don't have any HDMI. also dont lol@me wanting to play PS3 in HD. I got a PS3 before i had the money for a powerful computer. HD is much nicer then SD, oh also. I was replacing my TV anyway lol.

Oh, I thought you bought one built by Newegg, not just one being sold through Newegg.

Your motherboard isn't specified in that, so I'm going to assume it's got the general Intel-branded motherboard inside it. If that's the case, there's nothing really special about it. It offers excellent performance, but doesn't have any particularly fantastic features. It supports a maximum of 16GB RAM. I can't find if it says anything about support for nVidia SLI, but if it DOES, see if your videocard supports SLI.

The reason I say this is because, if you CAN do SLI, getting a second videocard of equal or lesser value would probably give you BETTER performance than spending the money on a completely new one. OR, you can buy a new one that's DX11-capable and keep the old one, linking them together. This would offer incredible video power that a single card typically can't do.

I don't know much more about SLI though, particularly since I've always been a Crossfire guy, but y'know.

Also, for future reference, don't spend money on prebuilt systems. It's actually not that terribly hard to build your own, and you would have spent a TON less building that one on your own. Easily a couple hundred dollars which could have gone to a larger HDD and better videocard.

Heres the thing, I drop pretty much everything. I demolished my last laptop from dropping it too much. If I tried to build one. Id break something lol. also SLI is just using two cards together right?

I just googled Intel P55 SLI and i found that it does in fact support it. if my card supports it also, should i just run 2 of the same card? or would that be a bad idea with the card I have?

Unless you're pushing insane resolutions (like that 2560x1600 monitor) with 8x AA or something, then you don't need SLI/Crossfire. In all cases except that extreme high-end, you'll always get better performance out of one expensive card than two cheaper ones that add up to the price of the expensive one.

I know this is off topic, but how does one add another console to their thing? Like how under my pic it has PC and PS3.

and is it worth it to get a 2650x1600 monitor? i found a review for my card x2. and it performed better then the 285

"also dont lol@me wanting to play PS3 in HD. I got a PS3 before i had the money for a powerful computer. HD is much nicer then SD, oh also. I was replacing my TV anyway lol."
Yeah, but both SD twins are somewhat lacking in horsepower to output in HD. =/  That's what I was getting at.

"oh on that 2560x1600 monitor, know of any that come with at least 1 HDMI spot? I dont want to have two TVs sitting around, one for games and one for my computer. All the ones on newegg don't have any HDMI. "
Not off the top of my head. My monitors have just about any input you could want though, they have VGA, DVI, HDMI and Component. Though they aren't 2560x1600.

How much were yours? And also I am a console gamer first lol. Also, are flat keyboards good or bad for gaming?

300 CAD each. Likely a bit cheaper than that in the States.

There are fancy gaming keyboards, but imo pretty well anything that gets labelled as something for gamers will be completely overpriced, and mostly not worth the cost. Mine's just some cheapo Microsoft keyboard that was like 20$ or something.

I prefer the flat ones for typing. But i dont know how it will feel when I play a game.

It'll only show current-gen systems there, and you have to add those games to your collection for it to show 'em.
