I am looking to purchase ^ THAT ^ motherboard mainly to play games (css, crysis, etc) but also to hook up to a large TV via HDMI.

The video card i am also looking at getting which would be this one ----> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814241068 or another similar ATI 3850 or 3870 card which would be running TWO 19" LCD's...

MY QUESTION is can i run that video card, with the 2 monitors AND also run my TV through the onboard HDMI all at the same time?!

that is all & thank YOU!

NO you can not. When you put that card into the system it will shut down the onboard grafics chip.

the AMD 780G chipset supports the ATI SurroundView which should allow 4 monitors with the an additional discrete graphics card.

Yes you can turn. Through the BIOS, you can pick PCI Express, PCI or the onboard graphics.
