New rig - 2 accts, 2 monitors - best setup?

Going to be building a new computer in the next month or so and also thinking about getting a 2nd account. Don't want to play two computers side-by-side so will be using 2 widescreen monitors. Will be installing Windows 7 64-bit with as much memory as I can afford so shouldn't be any memory issues. I'm not comfortable, however, with understanding the best video card(s) setup.

Any pointers at all would be greatly appreciated.

As long as the card supports dual monitors you should be fine.

Man I feel like I'm advertising for EVGA lately... I'm really not but I've been quite satisfied with my current video card, its the EVGA GeForce 260 GTX with 216 Cores. Its actually sold at a fairly nice price on a certain computer store related with eggs.

But as long as the card says it supports it you should be good to go. Might also be helpful to do a google search on the card name and dual monitors just to see what sort of experience others have had.

Good luck.

EVGA does make some very awesome nvidia cards.

Thanks for the replies. That video card looks sweet and I'll do some more research. Looking forward to this upgrade.
