I'm getting ready to build a new computer, buying almost everything new except my existing case and power supply (already upgraded)

FYI, going with a i5 3570K (OC yet to be determined). MSI z77a-G45 Mobo.

I want to play almost any game on max settings with 1 screen, and medium settings on Eyefinity (19"x3). (Skyrim, BF3)

This is a do everything computer, so no one piece of the puzzle is a huge budget.

I would love to accomplish this under $200. Possible?

I have considered the following:

Single Card: 7850 2GB 256-bit ($179)

Dual Cards: 7750 1GB 128-bit ($106 x2)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814103206


I would prefer a single card if possible in my price range because it's just one less thing to worry about.


Thanks for your expertise.
 
Solution
Just read over this thread from start to finish. It's ridiculous.

I'm sure you are all great at math and science (obviously right?) but you all SUCK at the English language.

I am truly astounded that you all fail to understand my original post and fail to recognize how erroneous the original reply was.

Two separate undeniable points:
1) I never wanted max settings in eyefinity (replier was wrong when he said so).
2) Replier said I couldn't play games at ANY setting with that card (something clearly false on it's face).

I am done with this thread and done with this forum. This site used to be good (a few years ago) but has really gone down hill. There is so much better advice with so much less nonsense available at other sites.

CYA.
