I currently have three samsung s24b300h's (1920x1080) ordered, will it struggle to run these on high gfx settings? or should i just go with one?
Do i need to buy another gfx card to run these 3 monitors at high graphics demand?

I have bought the phantom 630 case, will it fit?

Does it come with overclocking software?

If i eventually decide to get another identical card and crossfire, will my motherboard be able to handle it? asrock extreme6

Thanks in advance.

You're gonna come up short with a single 7970 if you wanna play at high settings

BF, Batman, Crysis are all below 30 fps at 5760 x 1080. To my mind, 3 monitors is multiple card territory and, tho 3 or 4 way CF was never a good option, even with 2 cards, I'd be hesitant to invest in CF at this point in time

+1 to this. For a 5760 x 1080 setup, you pretty much need a CrossFire/SLI (or a Titan, but those are pretty much never price efficient.)

Also, I wish you'd told us in the other build thread that you were going for a tri-monitor setup. I wouldn't have recommended a single-GPU arrangement.

I ordered 3 monitors because I already had two, then i accidently ordered 2 psu's when i got my build :p

So i told them to swap it for a monitor as opposed to refunding me because my dad needs a monitor anyway.

Was just wondering whether it was possible to steal his monitor from time to time and do the 3 monitor thing with my build. Doesnt bother me in the slightest that I can't. None of the games that I play really work with 3 anyway.

Chill :)

Ah. Well, that's less worrying than I expected. I was really stressed just there because I thought I had just managed to waste your (already reduced by Origin) money by advocating a build that wouldn't work for your use. I wasn't mad or anysuch, just really worried. :)
