Hi!

I have been thinking along time about upgrading my setup i bought this summer, and i was thinking about a 3 monitor setup.

My current specs are:
I7 Quad Core 4770K 4,8GHz
MSI Z97 Gaming motherboard (SLI Ready)
CRUCIAL DDR3-1600 DIMM 2x8 RAM (16GB)
(Im getting a 850W Gold Certified 80+ Tier 1 PSU for my new setup)
240GB SSD and 1TB Harddisk
Zotac 780Ti OC Edition (Check it out for more detailed specs)
Razer Deathstalker Ultimate Keyboard
Razer Deathadder Mouse (New Version)
Raser 7.1 Tiamat Headset

Asus "27" VS278H 1920x1080 Monitor (Take a look to see if it's good for 3 monitor setup, it's kinda big on the sides)

What im looking to do, is getting 2 more of my current Asus monitors and another Zotac 780Ti. Are my specs enough to run games like battlefield 4 and DayZ standalone on 60+ FPS on Medium-High settings? Is my PSU strong enough to run the setup? Is my setup creating any bottlenecks? How do i connect my monitors to my graphics cards? Do i have to put all the monitors in 1 card or 2 in 1 and 1 in the other graphics card?

Please tell me EVERYTHING i have to Keep in mind!!!

It's a lot to remember

PLEASE LINK THINGS I SHOULD CONSIDER BUYING IN THE COMMETS. I dont have a budget.

Best Regards

The answer to you questions are Yes....yes.....No....if you are going to do sli with expanded mode vs surround in like a portrait landscape portrait, then they all have to be connected to 1 card. The benefit of this is keeping 1 monitor in landscape for gaming at 1080p while using the side portrait monitors for extra stuff.

Thanks for your answer!

What im planning to do is gaming on all 3 monitors, but only if the game is compatiable with 3 monitors, Like if i Can Play the game showing on 3 monitors, Like 1 big landscape (5760x1080).

But when i play games like "League Of Legends" I plan to use the monitors for Twitch, Hearthstone, Facebook etc.

If i want to do like the things above, how do i connect the monitors? 3 in 1 graphics card, if yes, whats the use for the 2nd 1? I need some kind of transforming cable Right? DVI - HDMI? Please link the cables i need :)

Thanks very much

Thanks agian!

So if i do what you stated above, then i can play DayZ on 3 monitors (5760x1080), and also play League of Legends on the middle monitor, and have Twitch on the 2nd and Hearthstone on the 3rd?

Im a little confused because if i wanted to have it like i explained above, other People told me to plug everything into my first card.

unless you have NVIDIA Surround enabled if you connect a second monitor it will function as a second monitor for regular computer use but only one of them will function for gaming the other monitor will not change its display.

connect all the connections in one card and switching the single monitor and triple monitor gaming on/off the nvidia surround.

If you go SLI then plug all screens into primary card.
