I'm going to be building a new PC soon (i've built many from scratch, but never really delved into the finer points of choosing the right graphics card setup or overclocking etc). Below is the spec I am going for, what i'm after is recommendations on what card (and how many) would suit what I want to do.

I want to game primarily. I have 3 uniform 24" full HD monitors and a large screen TV I want a setup that allows me to game at max settings on the latest and greatest things (Titanfall is a biggie xD) but also run the other 2 monitors and the TV without issue doing there own thing (the TV is regularly playing video whilst I game for guests or the missus). I am not fussed about EyeFinity in all honesty, below is the spec and components I am considering, so advise or thoughts would be appreciated:

CPU: AMD FX-8350 (may get a 9000 series unless someone can pose a non-intel alternative)
Cooler: Corsair H60 Cooler
MoBo: ASUS Sabretooth 990FX Rev 2.0
RAM: 32gb Corsair Vengeance Jet Black DDR3 1866Mhz
PSU: Corsair CS750M 750w PSU (whats different about the RM750?)
Case: CMStorm Trooper case (will be maxed out on fans)
SSD: Samsung EVO 840 250gb SSD
HDD: WD Black 3tb HDD (plus some others from my old PC)


Whats GPU will best suit my need based on that spec, looking to spend about £300 ($500) on the solution card(s). It needs to be able to run gaming at max one a monitor and run HD video on a TV, along with 2 other monitors doing web browsing or whatever.

Also, any recommendations on alternative parts or the spec in general would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Zeroshift

The Asus r9 290 4GB is a beast! and it have 4GB of GDDR5 memory so that will be more then enough for your screens.

Definitely, if you had two of them they'd probably perform like a beast with 4k resolution haha.
