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

I "think" you connect all of your monitors to your primary card, someone who has done a multi-monitor sli could confirm this. It has 2xDVI and an HDMI, and I think it comes with an HDMI <-> DVI cable, so you should have enough cables to hook it up without ordering any more. SHOULD.

I do a little bit of multi-monitor gaming myself, but my specs are nowhere near as serious as yours. I have a single gtx 760 with 3 non-matched monitors. (1x1920x1080,2x1280x1024) I use softth to hack 3 monitor gaming on some easier DX9 games like tf2, l4d2, Portal 2, with good (40+) fps. And softth is emulating 3 1080p monitors, so the gpu is rendering 5760*1920. 2x780ti is a ton more power, I wouldn't expect you have have any issues. Just my experiences...

You have a decent Rig , it should be able to handle the games you have listed , Dayz is little Cra*p at running in current stage but BF will work . About monitor its gonna do the job as the price is good . connect all monitors to Gpu ( iam doing 2 way setep its working fine on my 550ti) . 850w is enough.

Thanks for your answer!

You said, quote: "Connect all monitors to GPU" what GPU do you mean, my 1st 780Ti or what? I need some kind of transforming cable right, to connect all 3 monitors or the 1st 780Ti, can you link the transforming cables need?
