Should I get two 1920x1080 monitors, or one 2560x1080 monitor?

Well, I'm looking to upgrade. My Girlfriend is having a PC and she will be getting my current monitor, and so I am looking to upgrade. I have a Sapphire 7950 and an Intel 4690k if that is necessary. Well what do you guys think?

What do you like? awesome Multimonitor setup or a single 2560x1440?

I don't think my GPU has enough power to support a 2560x1440 very well, especially not for newer games. I was thinking more of getting either a 2560x1080 or possibly two or three 1920x1080 monitors.

With two monitors your not going to be gaming across them anyway (imagine the monitor bezels running though your crosshair), so really it boils down to the screen real-estate provided, convenience of the setup and price.

In terms of sheer pixels the dual 1080p setup wins, for gaming I would say the 1440p wins because its just simply a higher usable res, convenience the 1440p as its a single screen, price the 1080p setup since a 1440p at its cheapest is typically ~$650 (Unless you go for a Korean model).
