LOVE the video card, two DVI outs and an HDMI (and the display port I doubt I'll ever use). The only problem I've had is that the software that came with my ASUS Mobo doesn't recognize the card, which isn't really an issue because it comes with it's own software for overclocking, and you can manually configure graphics settings on older games. I haven't used it for any newer games yet - just TES4:Oblivion, but it keeps up with that in Ultra High quality with a ton of mods. :D

You actually got the same video card as I'm using right now. I've also used the Corsair memory on my old desktop - it was DDR2 though and I loved it.

Let me know how you like the MSI Mobo. Oh, and take pics I wanna see the build. :D
