hi, i currently have a gtx 670 running quite oc'd (100+ on core clock, 500+ in memory clock), and it hardly handling my games, im looking to soon start playing games in either eyefinity or nvidia surround 2d, 3 screens 24" and a 22" on top as the "accessorie" screen, so from this gtx 670 where do i go, i will be gaming a lot, 8+ hrs a day i presume, will be playing games like war thunder, world of warships, euro truck simulator 2, assetto corsa, BF4, and most importantly ARMA 3 it has to run arma 3, i allso like recording my game play for search for hackers or if by accident i score some amazing shot, for now nvidia shadowplay has worked great but its starting to get a little out of date (the gpu i mean) so i was thinking of an amd 390x 8gb or so, my budget is 300 pounds but i can go a little over any suggestions appreciated.
psu:500w evga 80+ bronze
motherboard:gigabyte 990fx ud5
cpu: fx 8320 oc to 4.0GHz
any other specs needed please say
ps: i will possibly be upgrading my cpu to an Xeon E2-1231 v3 and my motherboard to a Asus MAXIMUS VII HERO ATX LGA1150 Motherboard.

that's great to hear thankyou, but i was worried it will not be a huge step from an fx 8320, or will it in gaming, and what about the motherboard ??, ow yeah and one more thing the extreme power supply calculator says my psu will be 23 watts under powered is the a huge worry?

Oh really, haha. I thought you hadn't bought it yet. It's ok for your current setup, but if you get some extra cash after you do this, you might want to upgrade it. Your new setup will take 460w with just cpu, gpu, ram and mobo. Its ok for now though. Good luck gaming
