Hey folks...

I am in the process of a new PC build. I've gotten almost everything figured out except the graphics card. I've always rocked ATI/AMD Raedon cards for it's eyefinity support (triple monitor to one desktop). From my understanding NVDIA cards can do that as well now. I was wondering if anyone has good experience with NVIDIA cards. They are pricey. I am currently looking at this one. I am not sure about the manufacturer, PNY. Anyone have any good input before I spend too much on something I may not need out of the card?

Update: I am looking at this card now! I was looking at the previous one because of the mini display ports since I have the adapters. I can just buy standard display port adapters, I guess.

I already have my ssds/hdds, operating system, optical drive, and peripherals. Everything in that list should be all I need.

All input is appreciated.

Thanks folks!

Good choice. If I were building a new box right now, the 970 is the card I would put in it. The #70 cards are a great mix of high performance and reasonable price. My current card is a GTX770, and I had a GTX470 before that.

PNY is a major/reputable manufacturer. EVGA is my personal favorite, but I wouldn't hesitate to use a PNY.

I run triple 24s with my NVidia, and have for quite some time - it's been purring along without batting an eyelash for over a year. Even with the three 24 inch monitors, the GTX770 returns the maximum possible Windows Experience Index score for both graphics and gaming graphics. I've been using NVidia in general for more than a decade, and have loved each card in turn. Ti4600 (2002), 6800 Ultra (2005), 8800GT Superclock (2008), GTX470 (2010), GTX770 (2014). The approximately three year replacement cycle generally represents upgrades of choice, not necessity, with the old card moving to the backup PC.

Higher clock speed, $20 cheaper and two years more warranty. It uses a better cooler too.

Don't get a model with the reference cooler.

That's a damn sexy build. I was surprised at how clean the old build looked, too. I expected more dust.

Filters are your friend when it comes to keeping dust out.
