Buy new or Upgrade?

[porridge69]

I have a few questions so here goes. (my pc is a Lenovo H330 Simline)

1. I need 3 monitors, (I currently have 2) is there a graphics card that will fit and run 3? The one I installed about 12 months ago won't.
2. If there isn't a graphics card that will fit how easy would it be to take out all the components and fit them in a full size case?
3 Would it be cheaper to buy a new pc?

Thanks in advance

For 3 monitors,you're gonna need a really powerful system.
I would stick with 2 monitors,why 3? It's unnecessary.

It's for work, i'm struggling with 2 monitors

Do you know what are your system specs?
I can't seem to find accurate info on the Lenovo H330.

OP has already said he needs three monitors, so I'd assume it is entirely necessary.
If you are not gaming (i.e. you don't need fast response times), such as keeping up a reference or monitoring screen, you can always add a USB adapter to get another screen.
An example would be http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815139004

A better one, supporting higher resolutions and DVI instead of VGA, would be http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=0Y3-004Z-00005

A lot of the mid-range graphics cards will support 3 screens, just not with the fps that a higher card will run. Usually it will say in the specs how many screens they support

But if you want to go with something a little more elaborate than what Onus is saying(which is pretty cool, I didn't even know you could do that) then I would definitely upgrade just the graphics card instead of getting a whole new system. Imagine buying a whole new system for $600 or just a graphics card for $600. You're going to be able to do way more just upgrading the card than if you bought a whole system.

Part of the problem is that his PC is low-profile, and low-profile graphics cards often do not have three display connectors on them.
