I currently have a GeForce GTX 550 Ti. My question is would it be better for me to upgrade to a card that can support 3 monitors (if so what card would be best) or should I buy another 550 TI and do SLI.

I enjoy gaming but not looking to spread the game on all monitors. The main purpose is to be able to run a game on one while having up other programs on the others.
