Just go 2x GTX 285. Way more than enough.

for me one 285 is enough, but he want it more... so any other opinion?

I'd go with the 3 285s or 2 295s.

For benching, gaming or folding? What's he going to be doing?

Probably is better for price/performance, yes.

What resolution monitor?

[phil3_66666]

For now he dont have any monitor, but planing to get an dell 30'' or something like that

[zlojack]

For the 30" monitor, get the 285s. The extra memory will help.

On the one hand, you say price is not an issue, but on the other you say what's the best price/performance?

Anyway, for 30" the 285s should do well.

[phil3_66666]

yes he have the budjet, but why paid for something useless(that my point loll), that is why i asking that..

and why did you sli 295 if tri sli 285 is bether? for folding?

[zlojack]

Yeah for folding and because I have a 24" monitor.
