If this is for gaming you will need to atleast go Crossfire with two of those cards if not replace it with two better cards. Running 5760x1080 puts alot of demand on the GPU and a single card will not cut it. If you go that route make sure your monitor choose has a DisplayPort input as it will save you the hassle of finding a active DisplayPort Adapter. With AMD/ATI one of the Displays must be connected to a DisplayPort or Active Adapter.

But with a $400 budget I am not sure you are going to manage at least 2 monitors and a second GPU. Also does you PSU have enough to power a second GPU in Crossfire?

Most 7850s would support it. Just look at the back for how many outputs it has. I have a Sapphire 7850 and I have 2 mini display ports, a DVI and an HDMI. The catch is at least one of the monitors HAS to be hooked up using display port for eyefinity to work. So you have to have a monitor that has a display port input or you need to buy an ACTIVE display port adapter.

Also... consider that a 7850 is a little weak for running games on 3 monitors. I imagine you would have to turn the settings way down to get playable frame rates.

EDIT: I was assuming you intended this for videogamesl. If you simply want to use 3 monitors you just hook them up to any 3 outputs if you have them and ignore what I said about the display port stuff.
