What is the best video card and best HD monitor in the world today?

Hi, I am Interior Designer and I use a program called MicroStation V8i. I have a few questions. Can Windows 7 easily support more than one hard drive? The renderings can take up a lot of space so I may need to get one hard drive dedicated only to the drawings. I need a big monitor, at least 27 inches or more but I don't know what brand. I would like my video card to be able to support two monitors. What kind should I get? I need a great video card and lots of RAM because I will be "walk through" animations of large homes, offices and restaurants.

1. you need then a special videoCard for that, the ones for games won't do any good, so make sure you check that, the best video cards are from nvidia BUT very very expensive although you can get VC with similar performance from ATI firePro is an excellent choice! http://www.amd.com/us/products/Pages/graphics.aspx check under professional graphics http://www.nvidia.com/content/HelpMeChoose/fx2/HelpMeChoose.asp?lang=en-us hope I get your solution!
2. I reccomend the nvidia gtx 590
3. Best monitor. That's easy. A Dell 30" 2560x1600 iPS panel display. Dell.com. Pretty much any IPS display. They beat out typical TN panel crap. They are about 2-3x as expensive, but worth it if you're running a big business. Video card wise, that's difficult since nobody knows the program. Could be a $100 1gb GTS 450 to a 2gb 6950 at $260 to an actual workstation quadro card for $450. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgR7pZlPI1c
