I have an HD 7850 and GPU and was thinking of buying three monitirs . I know that they can connect on one GPU so I was wondering if buying another GPU would be necessary. All I'm gonna be using it for gaming( diablo 3,skyrim,wow,arms 2 arma3,cod mw3, bf4,team fortress,counter strike go and dota 2)......thanks in advanced
In most cases you won't find a need for 2 GPU's. The 7850 is a good card and as you said can run 3 monitors. If you plan on gaming across all 3, however, you may need a more powerful card.

I do plan on running games across all three and also if I am able to get good grades I might be able to get an r9 290 will that be strong enough
Yes, I now use a R9 290 on 3 monitors (although 1050), it's great for most recent games, mostly get 60fps at max settings, but with AA usually 2xMSAA max, depending on the game.
Any lesser card will obviously perform less, depends how much you are willing to reduce graphics settings and fps.
Don't forget also that you'll need to use 1 DP with AMD cards, except Sapphire Flex, not sure about Nvidia
