In my main rig at the minute i am using a 290 Windforce OC edition have i can only hook up 2 monitors without having to get an adapter for display port

I was wondering if i can install a Radeon 7750 that i have laying around as well as the 290 and use the display outputs to power additional monitors from the 7750 (Mainly the VGA port)

My other and preferred GPU choice would be a 7600gs i have laying around or a JATON GeForce MX4000 Video-208PCI-128TV 128MB Which are both not in use currently

I know i can use the onboard graphics as well as the Radeon graphics and i know it works but causes a lot of blue screens

Yes, you can do this.

But not in Crossfire/SLI. Don't expect to have driver support or compatibility for games across multiple screens though. Also, make sure to check your PSU, to see if it can handle the load required.

R9 290 Windforce ~ 600W recommended
Radeon 7750 ~ 90W
+ any other components, CPU, Drives, Discs, etc... It might be cutting it close with CX750W... But you can try it.

I would update your AMD Catalyst drivers, if you haven't already.

You may get BSOD, but it might only be from the driver compatibility. You're going to have to play around with it, uninstall/install until you have a stable setup. I can't say for sure what's going to happen.
