I am looking to update to the best graphics card I can for this computer:

i7 Processor
16GB RAM
750W Power Supply
Triple monitor setup

I play flight simulators a lot - FSX, DCS World, Etc.

Which do you recommend that will work - and fit?

Thanks in advance.

In that price range, an HD 7950 or 7970 would be a great choice. The -50 can be overclocked to the -70 performance very easily and the game bundles are pretty good also. Be sure to get one with at least a 2 fan cooling system as they tend to run warm.

The 3gb card will give you all you need for 3 monitors and the 384gb bus is nice also.

I'd say at least a 670. Or if you can get a 680, or.. a 670 4gb version. The gb capacity is what keeps the game running smooth, and most people forget that. I have a 4th gen i7, gtx 670, 16 gb of ram, running 1080 and I play BF4 beta at 60 fps. and Arma 3 at 45-55

Im not real familiar with Amd cards, few of my buddies play them. Ive just always played on Nvidia gear.I know they make great cards, cheaper than nvidia ive just always been a fan of the "you get what you pay for" type of thing. I wont buy a amd cpu because the architecture is different, and although they have 8 core processors, they still arent as reliable as the haswell i7 is.
