best video cards for tri monitor setup

[goniecrazi105]

I am building my first gaming/super pc. I am going with an amd-fx 8350 cpu and 16 gig ram. my mother board is a gigabyte ga-990fxa-ud3. I would like to know what some opions are of which video card(s) I should choose for a 3 monitor setup as I will be gaming and honestly just want to have a bad ass looking setup. my budget for the whole pc(tower) is around 1200 with a little wiggle room. thanx ahead of time.

You will need to look for a card with a heap of Vram if you want to game on three monitors, for example 4 or 6Gb.
I would probably recommend a 7970 with 4gb or 6gb ( if you can find it)

But if not you can get two GTX 760's with 2gb each:

Or lastly a GTX 770 with 4gb:

The two card setup is obviously a bit more expensive but you will see more performance than the other single card setups.

So the two card setup is the better way to go. What is your reccomendation for power supply wuth 2 card setup?

Well the minimum for two GTX 760's is 650 watts. so to be on the safe side look for a 700-750 watt psu with atleast a bronze 80+ rating.
Here is some good ones I have seen lately, but any psu from corsair, XFX, or Antec are really good quality.
