Hey guys,

I have been looking into getting a new PC setup. It's about time I ditch my 2008 gateway PC. I've looked at Austin Evans builds on Youtube, I didn't really want to build any of his because I thought I'd be better off building my own on PCPartpicker.com. Here is what I have come up with:http://pcpartpicker.com/p/9YCZvK. I need a little help with the graphics card, I need it to be decent, cheap and able to run 3 monitors (using one for games and the other two to multi task). Any help would be appreciated.

3 monitors is a absolute must, I do alot of mult-tasking.

What are you doing? Not one monitor, much less the 3 he asked for.

What is the benefit of the i5 over the AMD-FX?
