Answer 1

4 video cards is just plain stupid, any more than 2 is. also you probably dont need that much HD space. But 1000 watt psu should do it, just make sure its got enough connections for 4 cards.



if you want a hell of a pc, just upgrade the video card you have regularly, makes alot more sense they getting 4 now

Answer 2

Although i'm no computer expert, what the hell are you going to be using 4 GFX cards for?



One is enough and that should save you a few hundred bucks.



4gb of RAM is good but if you're planning to run a 64 bit system, i would go with 6gb+



4x 2TB HDD.. That's pretty nuts in my opinion.. What i recommend you to do is to get one small hard drive (say 40gb) and use that just for your operating system and place all your files, install all your software on to a separate hard drive to keep your operating system running smoothly as most viruses attack the C drive.

Answer 3

What motherboard supports 4 vid cards? 1000 W should be ok, but I doubt you're gonna fit it all in a 690. You might want more wattage too... 4 vid cards??!?!? might take 2 dedicated power supplies.
