Im looking at a 290x (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131548&ignorebbr=1&cm_re=PPSSOBKJSEBRSA-_-14-131-548-_-Product) for an upgrade, i have already made sure i can use it and im wondering how i can set up my monitors, i want 3 monitors in eyefinity, 1080p each, and an HDTV, above the three monitors, probably 1080p as well, what would be the easiest way to set this up, and will the 290x run it?
My stats are:
AMD fx 8120 @ 4.1 GHz Processor
ASUS m5a99fx pro r2.0 Motherboard
12 Gb of DDR3 RAM
Radeon HD 7750 1Gb (what i will be upgrading from)
Corsair CX600 Power Supply
Windows 7 64 bit

The R9 290X is a solid card and depending on what your paying for it, the GTX 970 is better value.

as for how to set it up -

The display port has to be utilised when using over two screens, so a DP cable is essential.

Use 2x DVI cables to which connect to your monitor

1 x DP cable to DP. If your monitor chosen does not have a display port input then you MUST use a DP active adapter to the output of your required needs.

1x HDMI-HDMI cable for the above television.

That's it.
