I have 3x R9 280x cards in a rig with a Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 motherboard. I'd like to put an AMD FX-8350 4.0 GHz CPU with 2x 8 GB DDR3 1866 memory.

Will there be a performance bottlenext in the CPU or motherboard in this config?
 


Will the CPU be able to drive the three cards and three separate monitors? Or will the CPU/MB only be good for SLI on one or two monitors?
