Buying Advice Needed
« on: February 04, 2014, 03:51:40 pm »
I'm getting ready to build a new computer which I haven't done in a few years and I'm hoping someone can tell me if the following setup is compatible.

http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-Intel-DISPLAY-Motherboard-GA-Z77-HD4/dp/B00APZXXWC/ref=sr_1_10?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1391455316&sr=1-10&keywords=Gigabyte+LGA+1155

http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Core-i5-3470-Quad-Core-Processor/dp/B0087EVHVW/ref=pd_sim_pc_4

I already have 8 gigs of this memory: Corsair XMS3 4 GB 1333MHz PC3-10666 240-pin DDR3 Memory CMX4GX3M1A1333C9

I'm also planning on getting this monitor: http://www.amazon.com/Dell-27-Inch-Touchscreen-LED-lit-Monitor/dp/B00F86RO96/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1390925807&sr=1-2&keywords=touch+screen+monitor and using the DisplayPort. Will I be able to use a second monitor using DVI-D?

Thanks for the help  :)
