PC Specs:

AMD FX8320BE
R9 270
2x 4GB Corsair Vengeance
750W Corsair
78LMT-USB3 Gigabyte


They're the only important specs i suppose, anyway. I want 3 Monitors but i currently dont have enough, im making this post to see the total cost thats all. I'm assuming i'd need to sli two GPU's etc but will 2 R9 270's be able to cope with games like arma etc on 3 monitors?

Basically, what will it cost all together with hardware etc. 22 Inch Monitor Preferable

Thanks!

do you just want 3 monitors for bragging right or will you actually use it for 3 different tasks?

Most people who have 3 monitors have a far more powerful GPU than the 270.
You are going to want 1 or 2 (not sure how it scales) GTX 770's minimum.

A 270 will easily power 3 monitors, my old 7770 did and it played games on it.

770's SLI are way out of the OP's price range and is a false statement. The 270 will play game across 3 monitors. Just not on ultra detail.

I would use it for simulation/multi tasking. I plan on getting TrackIR etc for Arma 3 because i pilot for a community so i want 3 monitors and it to be a good FPS really. I'd say a budget of anywhere between 250-350GBP.
