Hey all!
It's been quite awhile since my previous build and it's that time again. In the past I would scoff at the idea of purchasing a prebuilt system - saving money building my own. Honestly I no longer have the desire nor time to invest which is why I am here. Any suggestions/thoughts on the following configuration. I do have and will be using a 28" display (res of 19x12). Also, please take note that because it's been so long for me I've been out of the loop so please be gentle! ;) Thank you in advance for your time, it's greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the quick response!
One card will be enough at that resolution? I'm not complaining, just want to be certain :) |

one should be enough, its not enough you can always add more but this card should give you 50 to 60 fps on most games
