I have three Dell (U2412M) monitors 1920 x 1200. I need to upgrade my graphics card should I go for 660TI, 670 or would the 680 give me best bang for buck? 2GB, 3GB or 4GB I read somewhere that 3GB would be a benefit for a triple monitor setup. Thoughts and suggestions appreciated. Cheers

I want to do the same with my three Dell (U2412M) monitors 1920 x 1200. I need to upgrade my graphics card should I go for 660TI, 670 or would the 680 give me best bang for buck? Cheers

I have my main PC in a 800D - wanted to try something different

Oh No! New H100 cooler doesn't fit in my case! (Old Coolermaster CM690) Looks like a new case as well now, any suggestions - thought of a Corsair 600T unless someone's got a better idea? Thanks for your input.
