Hi guys,

I build my Trading monster a while back 3 or 4 years back. All components have been handpicked and put together in my office by me, but now I am looking for a professional advise.

I kill time during my trading day with playing games as it helps me keep away from overtrading (making trades cause I am bored)

My current rig:
Intel Core i7-3820 3.6GHz LGA2011 10MB 130W OC 4.0
Asus Rampage IV Extreme/BF3 X79 S2011 Intel X79 DDR3 ATX
EVGA GeForce GTX 580 855MHz 3GB PCI-Express HDMI Classified
1 x Ati Radeon HD 6670 2gb
2 x Patriot Memory 8GB (2x4GB) DIVISION2 DDR3 1866MHz
PSU Cooler Master Silent Pro M1000 1000W
Case Cooler Master HAF 932 - Full Tower

On this PC I was running 4 monitors 2 monitors on each card. I would like to extend to 6 monitors maybe more later.

My Ati caught on fire for some reason, so I am looking for a new GPU but what I also want to do this time is to get 2nd 580 (it is already on the way) and put it in Sli and run them only on one monitor so the third card will have to run 5 monitors and that is where the challenge will come in.

I would prefer something with low power consumption and also I am wondering if I can run into any problems with the 2 580s in Sli and the third card. Also will the PSU be able to run this setup? It should be able to run 6 monitors @ 1920x1200.
I have my eye on the VisionTek 7750 Eye 6 2GB PCI Express Graphics Card But I am not sure if it will be able to run 5 monitors @ 1920x1200 each.
But I want your opinions as well. So please go nuts. Money is not really a problem as long this baby will not cost me arm and a leg :p

And lastly I am looking for an advise on Backup power supply/UPS, I have my eye on one as well but I want your opinions. It must be able to survive for more then 1 hour, that is the only condition and reasonable price would be nice :)

Much love,
JJ

If you want to run 6 monitors for gaming (assuming they are 1080p) you will need like 3 gtx 980 ti's. It is not an easy task to create a system to game on all 6 monitors. It will cost you an arm and a leg. I dont think you need 6 monitors if you are looking for a system that has a low power consumption, and wont be really expensive.
