    I'd say 2, but it depends on what you play.

    Are you talking about using eyefinity though? I'm not sure the driver's are out for crossfiring the 5750 (and my understanding was they wouldn't be out for a bit yet) so a single 5850 would be better for certain games.

    http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.aspx?sku=496258

    i was gonna get a ssd, but decided not to as i cant justify 170 quid for a 60gb drive.

    ive also bought a obsidian 800d, and i know the stock fans are useless, so anyone reccommend some great ones?

    im eventually going to watercool the cpu, gpu, and possibly the nb and sb

    Pesonally i would get 2 5750's or for 12e more http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.aspx?sku=516636
    It really depends if your going to be playing the lastest games or not.

    Akasa Apaches are very good fans (i have 5 of them) and they have new black model out now http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-057-AK&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=4

    They can be daisy-chained and ran off the mobo pwm using these http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CB-031-AK&groupid=701&catid=48&subcat=

    Well gaming on two full hd monitors is not gonna be an easy thing to power!

    Here's a 24" full hd monitor with digital input and for slightly less moolah
    http://www.onestoppcshop.ie/products.asp?recnumber=24542301

    Just a question too... These monitors are very very big and take up an awful lot of space make sure you know exactly what you're getting!

    ok, change of plan.

    gonna buy 1 24" monitor.

    and run an extra cable to my 32" which im mounting on a wall for movies.
    it wont be used when im not gaming.

    now, should i get 1 5770, or 2 5750's?

    ill probably end up buying a second monitor in janurary anyway :p

    and yeah, i do have tons of space on my desk's so its not a problem.
    was hoping to use eyefinity.

    i like them fans, but do komplett do anything similiar? id prefer to buy with them as i can collect it all in dublin on my way back to college.

    id get 1 5770, i used to play games on 3 screens with my nvidia 260 at a resolution of 3840x1024 and games like grid ran at just under 60FPS with no AA( softth wouldnt work with AA in grid ), an overclocked 5770 will be about as good as a 260 so should definately be fine with 2 monitors and you can add one later if you wish.

    The bevel will be really annoying if youre gonna game with 2 screens, with 3 its grand as the bevels are on the sides, but with 2 screens the split will be right down the middle.

    I have 2 5750 in CF and they are good (i would only go for them if u can buy them at a very good price). But i only went for my cards as i play in 1680*1050. If i was going to play in 1920*1080 i would have gone for the 5770 or even more so the 5850.

    Also i think u can get 2 of these 5770 (http://www.pixmania.ie/ie/uk/4129647/art/pixmania/radeon-hd-5770-1-gb-gddr5.html ) It says they have them in stock. They are cheaper then what u linked and better apart from the cooler as they run a few c higher but noting to worry about.
