lol good call

after doing a little more research I found out I had to get this little gadget since my monitor doesnt support displayport 3d: http://www.amazon.com/Accell-B087B-007B-DisplayPort-Dual-Link-Adapter/dp/B00856WJH8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1343926813&sr=8-1&keywords=Accell+B087B-007B+DisplayPort%2FMini+DisplayPort+to+DVI-D+Dual-Link+Adapter+with+3D+Support

I wasn't really looking to spend too much more besides for a ssd and another gtx 680 but without that I guess the whole 3d surround would have gone to waste... at least i got the last one on amazon
