Default New poker build

So here is what I got so far. I just put the monitors in there because that is eventually what I will want to use but probably won't purchase them right away. Anyway I need help on a power supply? Anybody see anything that I could cut rid of / change to make it a little less expensive?

my build

Why did you pick that video card? It's out of stock, expensive, and totally not what you need. You need a card with Dual DVI (look for radeon or geforce).

No. That doesn't have dual DVI either. Do an advanced search for only cards with two DVI connections.

Edit: Technically you can hook up two DVI connections to that card but it might be ugly. Why are you only posting low-profile cards?

I recommend:

Good for budget builds that aren't power hungry. I have one of these in my own E4300/P5N32E-Sli build.

Yes, something like that for video card. Just check the max. res. on the second head at the manufacturer's website to make sure it is up to your desired specs.

That video card looks good how do I check the res on the second head. I went to the company website and it said a max res of 2560x1600 but how do I know if this will be able to do two monitors each at a res of 1600x1200?

Thanks for the power supply info!
