Re: Computer Advice

Here's what I'm looking at so far for my new desktop. I figure I can try onboard video to start, then add the card if I feel I need it. Will the motherboard listed below run dual screens?

CPU - Core i5 2500K
Mobo - Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 (Z68 chipset)
RAM - Gskill F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL
Optical Drive - Lite-On iHAS424-98
Power Supply - OCZ500MXSP
Video Card - ati firepro v4800
I'll probably re-use my existing case
Probably add a drive bay card reader.

I think this should set me good to go for at least a few years.

Good choices?
