Poor Man's Eyefinity

You're welcome.

1 - It should support at least two. It's both a matter of if both the GPU and your monitors have the same input slots available.

2 - I'm sure it would run games like league quite fine on 3 monitors. Wouldn't count on Skyrim doing as well though.

3 - Regardless, get a GPU with at least 2GB RAM. It will help when you're using that many screens.

4 - In my experience Radeon cards don't scale as well as GeForce cards when added together, so I'm hesitant recommending it.

5 - Screens depend on your wishes/budget. Look for ones which have at least 5ms response times and Full HD. If you value
color alot and viewing angels, then you ought to look for ones which have IPS technology. More expensive though. Typically
you also don't want to go under 20". A cheap example of all these, save IPS, would be:

6 - I always think one should go for at least ATX when possible, unless you either specifically don't want it or can't fit it into your
budget. Simply because the motherboard is the basis for all the other components and you want a good base surely. The motherboard
you picked there is quite a solid choice; especially as Asus makes some of the best ones.

7 - The CF board should have multiple PCIe slots.

8 - USB 3.0 isn't crucial. It just means faster transfers when you use USB ports. It's a nice to have. USB 3.0 slots are also identified by their
blue color by the way. Many boards come with 2.0. I think it's just fine really. Up to you. SATA is also a speed thing.

9 - Raidmax PSUs are to be avoided if you ask me. A bad PSU is much worse than a bad case. One can destroy your computer and the
other just proves unhandy or otherwise a pain to use or whatnot.

10 - Incidentally Diablotek is in the same boat as Raidmax. Let it be said that there's many PSU makers that just cannot be recommended.
Furthermore it's not wise to get the cases with built-in PSUs. Because while they're cheap and seem handy, you don't get any information
on the PSU and even if you did, it's just better being able to chose which PSU you want specifically. OCZ, XFX, Antec, Corsair, Cooler Master
and Seasonic are some brands you should be looking for instead.


11 - If I had to fix it up a bit more:

If you want two GPUs, I'd suggest a 750W PSU too. I think you'll run your games very well though.

Most definitely on one monitor for sure, as this shows:



Then if there's issues with Eyefinity, you can work on that. The main thing is that you're able to play

your games to a satisfying degree. More VRAM (GPU RAM - Video RAM) also benefits you Skyrim in particular,

if you intend on using lots of texture mods for instance.
