My set up :
CPU - Intel Core i5 3570K
OS - Windows 8.1
Motherboard - Asus P8Z77-V LX
RAM - 8GB Corsair 1866mhz Vengance (2x4GB)
HD - 1TB S-ATAIII 6.0Gb/s
Case - Zalman Z9 Plus

Current Graphics card - NVIDA GeForce GTX 650 Ti 1GB (for 1 monitor)

Looking at getting 3x AOC I2267FWh 22" IPS Monitor

Need a new graphics card to cope with running all three. Would rather only one graphics card and for it to be £250 or less preferably. Also my current PSU is a 500W Xigmatek. Was wondering if i may have to increase this to power all 3 monitors.

I use the PC to play games mainly and stream videos.

So any suggestions on a graphics card would be much appreciated.

For three monitor you are going to be needing a serious power house card, and a GTX 980 may do the trick. However to use this monster card you will need to upgrade your psu as a single GTX 980 can sip up to over 300 watts at load. One thing to consider when buying you monitors though is connectivity. A single GTX 980 has 3 DisplayPort ports, 1 DVI port, and 1 HDMI port.

AMD Cards offer better resolution performance and better performance over multiple monitors than Nvidia cards generally do, you may consider this when buying a new card.

a gtx 980 uses no where near 300w
