Hello, I currently use 1 monitor, and am looking at upgrading to 3. My only problem is i have no idea if my computer will be able to do it. I currently have This, and want to use it as the center monitor: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?sku=320-8218 I want to buy two more of these: http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX51583 My computer has a GTX 645 with 1x DVI 2x HDMI 1x mDP (I think) With an i5 4440, and 8gb of RAM Can my computer handle this??? I plan on playing a few heavier games, but mainly light ones like CS GO, etc, (If i had to i would just use the extra monitors as work space) Thx for anyone who takes the time to read this, and possibly help |

Hi and  Sadly you gpu isn't fast enough to run games at multi monitor resolutions. My advice would be to first save up for a new gpu (970 or 290/290x when they might go on sale because of the release of the 300 series cards (which are basically re-brands). Then afterwards buy two more monitors. |

If you will benefit from the monitors for productivity it may not be a bad idea to get the monitors now, even if you're not able to use them for gaming. You can still continue to game on your center monitor alone like you are now. That said, as far as gaming is concerned Wijkert is right. I have a GTX780ti with an older i7 and 8GB of RAM and have to lower settings for certain games (Rome II/Attila) in order for them to play smoothly on all 3 monitors. You have to remember your GPU has to push 3x the pixels! One last thing I would say, if you're going to invest into a more gaming-oriented monitor you probably want to make that one your center monitor. The side monitors tend to just cover your peripheral vision for the most part, so you'll spend the majority of your time facing the center unit. Especially on games like FPS where you simply move where you want to look, vs. an RTS game where the screen real-estate warrants moving your head around. From a noob to a noob

I'm using an ASUS right now for 2 years, it's great and not expensive |
