Graphics card help

[arich1055077]

Hello,
i am looking at getting a gaming computer. i will admit that i am a noob when it comes to the parts of a computer.

the computer that i want has a: [CrossFireX] GIGABYTE GA-970A-D3 AMD 970 Chipset Socket AM3 ATX Mainboard w/ Touch Bios, Ultra Durable 2, On/Off Charge, 7.1 Audio, GbLAN, 2 Gen2 PCIe X16, 3 PCIe X1 & 2 PCI mother board

and this is the cpu: AMD FX-8120 3.10 GHz Eight-Core AM3 CPU 8MB L2 Cache & Turbo Core Technology

these are the options and extra costs of the graphics cards. what one would you recomend that is not to expensive for good graphics on modern games?

Please let us part together a rig for you. Your obviously just gaming. You can save probably up to 400$ or more by building the computer your self vs paying cyber or ibuypower to build it.
that 400$ helps if you want better specs.

 

[Sumukh_Bhagat]

Multiple means 3 monitors. So gaming at 5760x1080 needs great power.

GTX 670 OC, 7970, GTX 680 are fine for them.

And if SLI\Crossfire then 7950x2 or GTX 670x2.

And if you tell us your Budget then its better. We'll suggest you the Best.

im looking to spend no more then like 850. and the operating system is windows 8 so i want to get two normal monitors and 1 touch screen later in the future. how can i tell how good a graphics card is?

 

[Rockdpm]

If you can afford it. a 7870 would be the bare minimum on what i'd get. If your gonna be just gaming on 1 screen and have a second for peripheral..

i am buying a custom computer from cyberpowerpc.com it is a gamer ultra 7500. im not against building it my self. but if i do i would like to know how much it will cost and that everything will work together.

yes i can afford that. do you think it is worth it to get a second graphics card? or not really?

GTX 670 in SLI will be great deal.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121637

But as you said that you'll get the 3rd Monitor in future.
You should get only one GTX 670 now.

Then wait till Next-Gen. If you liked some better card, sell this 670 and get that.
Or else get another 670 at that sales time with your 3rd Monitor.

AMD Radeon HD 7750 2GB 16X PCIe 3.0 Video Card

is that a good card to start with? and can it handle 3 monitors? or 2? or only 1?

AMD Radeon HD 7750 2GB 16X PCIe 3.0 Video Card

is that video card good for gaming? and how many monitors do you think it could run?

is that one good? i figured out that the last one only has 1 port.
would that card be powerful enough to have two monitors running on it?

If you want to run 3 monitors in the future then you need to go with at elast a 7870.

And that pre-built computer you want has a terrible cpu for gaming, especially if you want to use more than 1 video card.

Let me first Figure it out.

Monitors you'll have:

Monitors you'll game one:

Budget for GPU:
