I built my first gaming PC about a year ago and I'm thinking about upgrading my monitor. I just can't decide which way to go with all the options out there. Originally I was thinking that I should get the Rog Swift (linked) ,

but then I started thinking that I might want to try for the 3d vision surround since GTA5 announced support for it. Do you think my current graphics card is capable of descent performance on 3D surround?

Here is my current PC specs....

Also, I know that my card isn't powerful enough to run 3 of the Rog Swift monitors nor do I want to pay that much money 3 times.... If I was going to go the 3 monitor setup route, I would probably go with 3 monitors without the G Sync technology since they are like 1/2 the price. Any monitor suggestions are appreciated....
