Get two 780 Ti. A third card will barely give you any better performance, probably give you more problems than benefit.

yea but wouldnt haveing a graphics card per monitor be benifical? espcially for 3 monitors which are 2560x1440p?

That's not how it works. Each card doesn't run individually, they have to be linked up into an SLI configuration. And games don't perform at 200% with two cards, what you get depends on the game. Some don't even use SLI and run as if there was only 1 card. And with a 3rd card you get even less potential benefit.

ok i understand btw could u recommend any monitors i want to keep it at around 1500 bucks for monitors i want 3 that run game smoothly but can have beautiful picture as same time

Hmm most good 1440p monitors cost beyond $500 each. For a triple monitor you want a thin bezel design which makes things harder.

Sorry, cant find any

I'd like to weigh in here. I have the setup you're looking at. 3 780 Ti's as well as 3 1440p monitors in surround SLI configuration. In BF4 im getting around 45-70 fps. fluctuating quite alot but with little to no stutter in the frames so its very playable. I have not tried this set up with 2 cards so I can not say what kind of performance you would see with that set up. Although if you are on a budget I would say start with 2 and add another if you have alot of stutter in your frames. as far as monitors go this is what I am using. Large bezel but ignorable. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA2RY0X59885

edit: also you're gonna need a large PSU of around 1300 watts for these cards. they are power monsters if you overvolt and overclock.
