Parts compatible for gaming computer?

I need to know if all these parts are compatible with eachother because I am going to be setting up 3 monitors to this one computer. I play games and I want to be able to watch like a movie on one screen, play games on another screen and have music playing on the other (just an example). So are these parts good enough to be able to run any game on the highest damanded settings and able to be running other programs on the other monitors at the same time without any problems? Thanks!

Hmm, no.
To do that, you'll need to just run the game in windows mode and just throw it to the side, I think. I don't think you need a separate monitor to play music.

I'm not entirely sure that that card will have three display ports natively.
 
I said no.
It will cost more, and probably not be useful for playing games and watching movies.
Just to clarify, I meant that you'd probably need to run games in windows mode to be able to watch movies and play games at the same time, but on different screens.
What games are so boring?
 
Well it was just an example to have all of that up at the same time. I just want a really good computer to be able to run any game at the highest settings. I just need someone to build my computer for me because i suck at it.

I kind of just did that?
Again for clarity, if you replace the parts you picked with the ones I did, then it will work. Note that I didn't replace everything on your list.
 
I don't agree with the PSU. I would atleast take a 750 Watt. And if I were you I would wait for AMD's FX 8 core CPUs to come out.
 
That PSU is more than adequate for a single GPU solution on all but the high-end of GPUs, or old power hungry designs.

600w would provide slightly more headroom if your overclocking, but 750w is not needed for this setup.

I agree with it!
IMO the Antec high current is fairly nice for the price. At the time of posting, I think it had a $20 discount too!
 
I would get a stronger PSU for the option of a second card, or new CPU.

With all due respect, your in no position to be telling us if we're right or wrong when you, yourself are asking us every 5 mins if this will or won't work.

HK know's what he's talking about.

Waiting for a FX CPU is indeed good advice though.

*holds hands up in the air*

That is true.
 
I'd follow HK's build recommendation. Your list includes an AMD AM3+ motherboard, which is incompatible with Intel processors, and if you were willing to spend ~$260 for the processor, you'd get more bang for your buck buying a new i5-2500. 8GB of ram is fine really, I'd only recommend more if you're going to be using memory heavy applications like 3D modeling, video/image editing, etc.

The HD6950 is perfect for your needs, thought I'd suggest that instead of wasting its processing muscle on running a game windowed with other applications on the 2 side monitors, try running games with eyefinity so they play across all 3 monitors.
 
Depends...if the OP wanted the option of adding in a second card later...Though, the OP probably died or doesn't care about this thread anymore.
