If you have a 750 watt PSU or more and have an SLI capable motherboard, for an extra 50$ you can get x2 MSI 760 Gaming cards, these cards in SLI perform better than an Evga GTX 780 SuperClocked ACX. Currently the fastest single GPU in the planet (the 780 in general when overclocked, not specifically pointing at EVGA's model).

I'm going to assume GPU. In this case go with a GTX 770, its the best card you can get that cores less than a GTX 780 and it is within your price range.

You can go grab a GTX 770 (~$400) at that price point. Or get a HD 7970 (~$400) which performs a little less but includes a great bunch of games with it. Add in around $50 more and the best that you could get would be two GTX 760s (~$250 each) in SLI.. which outperforms both the above options by a wide margin and would allow you to game reaaaally well on multiple screens.

I actually do have an 750 watt psu and i have a Crosshair V Formula-Z Socket AM3+ 990FX mobo, so two gtx 760ss would run almost anything I throw at it?

It would run any game completely maxed out at 1080p. Multi monitor gaming maybe not completely maxed out, but close!

2 760s beat a 780, so yeah, pretty much any demanding modern game will be handled easy. Well optimized games like BF3 will allow your SLI 760s to go all out and they will give you something around 160 FPS on ultra, it's crazy.

Without hesitating, MSI's GTX 760 Gaming, the best cooler you'll find, a pretty high factory OC, and premium build quality.

You'll get a CD in the box with MSI Afterburner, a great OC tool, and if you need assistance with overclocking, I'll be happy to help, but it's really easy nowadays, all you have to do is slide a couple bars and increase the fan speed a tiny bit, 44% fan speed is what I find to be the sweet spot.

I will have to hit you up when I get the two cards. I'm actaully doing my first build on a $1500 budget and the two 760s fit into that perfectly.

Since it's a Gaming edition card, it comes with a nice tool with 3 presets for a higher oc, lower oc, and I forgot what the third one does, but basically, you can use that to accommodate your GPU to what you're doing, surfing, gaming, each preset is built to suit one thing or the other.
