    Just saying the performance gain in real use will be slight between the Corsair SSD and the Samsung. Don't get me wrong the Samsung is a great drive but their only going to get cheaper and better. Dual monitors are the bomb and in a perfect world they would both be identical but it's not essential.

    Oh well, I better just get one of the Samsung ones for future proof.
    Anyway I'm quite interested in the dual monitor thing, would I need to change my current build for it? Extra cables or whatsoever?

    No tha cables come with the monitor unless you want to use HDMI's or Mini Displayport's you want to check on the new GPU for it's connections as well as the monitor you've selected. And you'll love that Samsung I bought the last 830 series and I'm so glad I did !

    Second only to the first addition of a SSD, Dual monitors or more is transformational to computing productivity when you have the desktop real estate to support them.

    My desk is pretty cramped right now, hope it will work. I wonder how it will come out though. You can like split the screen via the two monitors or are there any other methods?

    If you can hold your cookies together then playing games becomes totally immersive !

    I'm not all too sure, to be honest. There will be a weird difference in screen size and in quality (IPS 1920x1080 vs TN LED 1440x900). Anyway I changed my build a bit because I went through PcPartPicker and it showed me that the Cooler Master HAF 912 didn't have USB 3.0 slots in the front panel so I changed it, also I calculated the estimated wattage with two calculators and I ended up with 360-380W, so I also changed my PSU to something more cheaper.

    Wrong.....go the other way and gain efficiency stay with minimal 500-600 min. or go 650-800 and future proof. It will run cooler and have reserve power as PSU's drop 3-5% a year and this will also allow expansion and SLI'g later. In my opinion you never skimp on case or PSU.
