PC wont be intended for gaming. Dual monitor setup (triple in consideration for future), most intensive thing it will be used for is some graphics rendering.

Am I correct in assuming the 30$ or so extra for the 7970 (gigabyte windforce or sapphire) is worth it?

Other relevant specs:
i7 4770
16GB DDR3(Upgrade to 32 in future)
ASRock Z87 Extreme3 LGA
1150,750watt power supply
liquid cooler of some sort or another

Extra Credit: For 40$ more, would an upgrade to an i7-4770k and MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Extreme OC High Performance Triple CFX/ SLI Intel Motherboard be worth the cash, even considering that I'm not planning on overclocking? (I plan to "turbo" to 3.9 and be happy for awhile)

Can the ASRock even support triple monitors?

Thanks for your time :D
