    Purchasing a 3XS system, 3XS P55 OC? dual monitor setup

    Hi,

    My pc is on its last legs and I'm looking for a 3XS system primarily to use for graphic design and programming packages and a bit of gaming. I'm also used to a dual monitor setup (I'm a web designer and find it easier for testing screen sizes and comparing code). I was looking at the 3XS P55 OC maybe with the i7, but wondered what you would recommend graphics card wise. My max budget is £1k.

    measureddesigns,

    The P55 OC systems are great for this type of use and all modern graphics cards shall support dual display. Were you looking to play any PC games aswell? If not, we can have a near silent running machine with a passive graphics card

    £1k budget will get you a monster machine in terms of board chip and RAM nowadays, just let me know about the games and I'll throw a suggestion your way.

    All the best
