Hello,
I have a Dell optiplex 980 sff. I'm wanting to run 3 monitors with seperate applications on each. The graphics dont have to be anything special as its only for web browsing.

these slots are available
- 1x pci low profile
- 1x pci-e low profile

-and it has 235w psu

I've been advised to do a few different things and just want to make sure its the right one.

Can i run a 3rd monitor off a new video card and the other 2 from the on board video card? Or will the computer only recognise one video card? and will this exceed my psu capability?what psu upgrade is best suited for this pc?

If anyone can point me in the right direction that'd be awesome. If there's any other specs you need to know like the mother board specs just let me know how to find it
