I have a gtx 780 superclocked (exact one linked in bottom of this post) and was wondering if I could run a triple 27" monitor setup with it. My cpu is Intel Core i7-4770K Quad-Core Desktop Processor 3.5 GHZ 8 MB Cache and my power supply is Cooler Master V850

Yep your not gonna max out games but the 780 we'll defintely give you decent fps. If you want you can go for the 4670K and use the rest of the money to get a 780ti instead. You won't be using HT unless you are so getting the 4670K will work out just fine

I already have these components, just not the monitors. So I don't need to worry about my power supply? Would you reccomened me buying another one of the gtx 780's like the one I have?

Well idk. People say you need 850W to sli 2x GTX 770s. A 780 alot of people say 850 as-well but the more smarter ones suggest a proper 1000W is more better. If you're going to sli just make sure you don't use reference cards cause it's bad enough Sling in the first place because of the heat generated. Most mobos out there pack the GPUs pretty tight together but then again that depends on how many slots the GPUs take up. Most non-reference cards are triple or double slot in width so you're still kinda screwed.

Ofc if your house has a nice ambient temp, not like mine which is in the 25-30C(I live in the carribbean :D ) and your case is well ventilated then sure go ahead and Sli that beast. Just get a nice PSU. I for one would never sli because of where I live, instead I use the money to buy both the cards and get the single best card out of it

If I just stick with my one GTX 780 I should be fine without needing to upgrade psu correct?
