Hi all,
I am a long time lurker, first time (?) poster asking for a little advice on a new build I am going to try out for my office.
I will be building a 3rd gen core i7 w/16 G of RAM, 128 SSD.
My main use will be for Dragon Naturally Speaking and Word Processing. I do get on the internet a lot, mostly research, some youtube and watching the occasional TV show, etc.. Once in a blue moon, I may pop in a Blu-ray DVD if I am stuck in the office. I play no online games, such as first person shooters, etc., whatsoever.
I do however, want to go to a two monitor system, where I can open up a multiple page WP document and spread several pages of it across both monitors, or have a nice big window where I am copying and pasting from one document or web page or whatever into another.
Noise is also a big factor, so a passively cooled solution would be nice but not essential.
I see lots of passively cooled 2 DVI port, 1Gig, cards for about $50-60 online, but I don't know if that is enough for what I am planning to do or not.
reccomendations, thoughts, advice?
Many thanks in advance!
