Very good build. I recommed the Cooler Master V8 or V6 CPU Cooler but yours is just fine.

 

[Rugnir_Viking]

I agree. Very nice One thing I would say is if you want a real experience in computing, get more than one monitor. At first you'll not use them but now I love the ability to have Skype/facebook open on one screen, my music composing/strategy games on another, and a film or youtube video on yet another 😀 Its truly awesome if you have the desk space for it If you don't, you can get double or even triple monitor stands which extend the monitors over the edge of your desk.

Also I've never used an EVGA power supply. While I can't say it's good or bad, you wanna be sure you get a good psu, because a bad psu can damage the other components in your system

I agree with Rugnir_Viking. Try getting a Corsair PSU 750watt PSU. They are really good.

Is my build capable of having two monitors?

 

[JoshuaPinto]

Yes very capable. It has the dual link DVI. It will work nicely

Almost all computers will run with up to 3 monitors fine for just multitasking like I described. however if you want to play a game spread across three monitors you'd have to choose older games or dial down that settings to maybe medium with 4x or no AA

 

[jclol12]

Oh I see. Do you have any monitors I could get that are not too expensive?

I can't think of any right now, and where I am now theres an online shopping filter in place so I can't point you to any.
Look for one about £70-£90 at 1080p and 21.5-23 inch

 

[jclol12]

All right. Thanks for the answers guys!

 

[JoshuaPinto]

No problem
