My currrent gaming PC consists of these specs:
Intel 3770k CPU
Corsair H100i CPU Cooler
MSI GD65 Gaming MOBO
EVGA GTX 770 SC Video Card
Corsair 1600 16GB RAM
Samsung Pro 128GB SSD
WD Caviar Black 1TB
Corsair HX850 PSU
CoolerMaster HAF X Blue
ASUS VG248QE 144Hz 24" Monitor (main)
ASUS VE248H 2ms 24" Monitor (side)

I am wanting to do a triple monitor setup. But I am guessing my single GTX770 won't be able to run triple monitors for online games like: Archeage, WoW, CS:GO, DayZ, etc.

1.) I was thinking about upgrading my single GTX770, to 2 GTX970's or 2 GTX980's. Would this be enough to run triple monitors on online games with high/ultra settings and still get smooth/high FPS? Also, should the cards be 3-4GB? or is 2GB not enough?

2.) I was also considering upgrading my Motherboard. I currently have the MSI GD65 Gaming, and it has served me well, but I was curious if it is worth upgrading to something better?

3.) Will running an Asus VE248QE 144Hz 24" in the middle, with an Asus VE248H 2ms 24" on each side of it be okay? All 3 of them would be 24", and all 3 would be ASUS. It's just my middle monitor will be 144Hz, while the 2 outside ones will only be 60 or 75Hz I think.

4.) Will my 850W Corsair PSU be enough to run GTX 970/GTX 980s SLI?

Thanks for the help guys.

It can run triple monitors, its just a question of whether it can perform to your satisfaction.

1. If dual 980's couldnt handle it, then your out of luck I think :lol: Definitely get cards with at least 3GB, at that kind of resolution only having 2GB can make difference outside freak examples (high res patch on Crysis3 at 1080p can consume more than 2GB, but again, freak case).

2. That board is fine for dual cards, no reason to change IMO.

3. I think AMD has support for dissimilar refresh rates across an Eyefinity group, though I think they should all work fine in Nvidia Surround (you will have to run them all at the same refresh rate though).

4. Yup.
