Hi everyone, I need some help upgrading. My build from last year
MSI A88X-G45 Gaming Motherboard
AMD A10- 7870K 3.9G Processor
2x8 (16G Total) G. Skill DDR3 2133 PC3 17000 RAM
100G San disk SSD hard drive (For operating system)
1T WD HD
Corsair H55 Water Cooler
Corsair CX500 power supply
window 10
I do not game, I mostly use this for stock trading, business/ school stuff, web surfing/ MS Office ect. I currently do not have a graphics card and I am using dual monitors. Nothing fancy HP W201d and a Compaq WF1907. Both monitors have DVI and VGA connections. I want to add a 3rd monitor and maybe in the future also connect to my LG 42in TV(HDMI). The new monitor will be around 20in like the HP and have DVI/ VGA connections. I think I need to add a graphics card as I am asking a lot from the onboard graphics now. From what I have been able to read I do not need a super powerful graphic card for my use but do need something with enough port. I was thinking of doing two EVGA GT 710 but if I have 2 cards do I have to crossfire/ SLI them together if I am using multiple monitors? Is there an advantage/ disadvantage to bridging 2 cards? Should I just buy one card instead? I am trying to stay as cheap as possible. will this EVGA card work? what would any of you do? Thanks in advance for any help
