With my current setup could I get 200 fps in tf2/csgo running dual monitors?
i7-3770k 3.5ghz quad core
AsRock Z77 motherboard
8gb G.Skill Ripjaw ram
1Tb HDD
120gb Samsung ssd
evga geforce 660 graphics card
corsair 300r mid tower case
Corsair 650 watt psu
Benq 24' 144hz monitor

Also for people that have dual monitors is it worth it? What do you guys use them for mostly? Whats a good second monitor to get? And is a mount worth it and if you guys have mounts can I see pictures of anyone with one?

Thanks!

Having a second monitor wont hinder your fps very much because the second monitor's display will be relatively minimal. Also tf2 and csgo are mostly cpu based games which means that your gpu will not be put under extra strain. The cpu will be doing the same amount of processes as it would with 1 monitor.

I don't know much about hardware but we have the same CPU and graphics card, I have 16gb of RAM however, I get around 200 fps in HL dropping to maybe 160 during mid fights.

I use the second monitor to put pandora on while I'm playing, or put Netflix on one monitor and browse the internet on the other because I have the attention span of a squirrel.
