Hey guys.

For my Birthday (6th of July) I am getting the amount I have in my bank account again, which from what I can see will be (In total) around $1000-$1200. I have really been wanting for a long time to have three 1080p monitors, but havn't been able to due to GPU restrictions(Currently a 7850 Ghz). With my money, I will defiantly be getting a new card/Xfire, and with what's left three monitors (Or 1-2 to start off and get the other(s) later. My desk is quite large, DEFINITELY enough for three (30") monitors and my PSU is 750W silver certified 80+, so I believe that will suffice.

To get the most bang for the buck, would Xfiring my 7850Ghz suffice? Or would getting an entirely new card be the better option?

My full specs are:

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1

Intel Core i7 2600 @ 3.40GHz
Sandy Bridge 32nm Technology

8.00 GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 665MHz (9-9-9-24)

Acer Aspire M3970 (CPU 1)

AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series- (7850Ghz)

1863GB Western Digital WDC WD20EARX-22PASB0 (RAID)

Copied directly from Speccy.

Thanks for the help on my other thread!

Is that a $1000 budget just for GPU??
Because if you want 3 30 inch monitor setup a GTX Titan will be your best shot.

If not, then a gtx 780 (4gb version) or HD 7970 will best options.

So is the 1200 budget including monitors or just the graphics card?

I guess so, whatever gives me the overall best graphics/performance for the price :D.

I could spent $1000 on the GPU if the monitors were free and visa versa.
