Hey guys,

First of all, thank you for taking your time to read my thread and provide assistance. As my now outdated signature shows I was the proud owner of a GTX 590 for nearly three years now. It recently died out and seeing as I already had issues playing new games I decided to leave it be and just buy a new card(s);

APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Within the hour if we can agree on a specific card;

BUDGET RANGE: 1000$, flexible;

USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming and HD movies mainly;

CURRENT GPU AND POWER SUPPLY: Gigabyte GTX 590(dead), Corsair 1000W Modular;

OTHER RELEVANT SYSTEM SPECS: Intel i5 2500k(Sandy Bridge) - Gigabyte Z68XP-UD5 - 16GB Corsair RAM - Cooler Master HAF-X with all cooler slots filled;

PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: http://emag.ro (You can use google translate) - Bucharest, Romania;

PARTS PREFERENCES: Don't really care, but should be noted that I only used nVidia GPUs in the past and I'm most familiar with them;

OVERCLOCKING: Maybe SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Maybe;

MONITOR RESOLUTION: 3x 1980x1080 (5760x1080);

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: When I chose the parts for my PC last time my biggest problem was finding a GPU that provided three ports that weren't DisplayPort as I couldn't find any reasonably priced DisplayPort monitors. I settled with the GTX 590 mainly for its three DVI ports. This is still a problem as I still have three monitors that do not support DisplayPort.

My monitors each have a DVI and HDMI port, would it be possible to for example grab a GTX Titan which has 1 HDMI and 2 DVI ports and plug two monitors via DVI and one via HDMI and run them all together with nVidia Surround? If so my top contester is the Titan.

Gigabyte NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN OC, 6144MB, GDDR5, 384bit, HDMI, 2x DVI, Display Port

It's in the price range but why would I go for 780 ti instead of titan? The port issue is still there too.

Titan series are not really meant for gaming, there meant for people who do animations, and stuff. If you want more than 2 DVI ports, I suggest you get 2 GTX 780 and put them in SLI.

Lol totally forgot you can get a HDMI to DVI adapter

Hmm...its seems so, my bad dude turns out the Titan is better than the GTX 780 Ti at some games. You should get a Titan then it seems.
