Need help chosing graphics card

[Hjgrove]

Hi there,
What would be a good graphics card to run 5 displays on extended mode?
My resolutions:
display 1- 1280x1024
display 2- 1280x1024
display 3- 1280x1024
display 4- 1366x768
display 5- 1920x1080
Could I please have a high end option and a budget one
any help is much appreciated thanks!

Any gaming at all, or just deskop/movies etc?

This is for my browsing and movie rig, already got a Radeon r9 290x for my gaming rig.

Then I would connect the display 4 and 5 to the onboard and just get whatever low power card you want for the other three, essentially any current/last gen budget card can drive three monitors if you aren't gaming on it.

Ok, I was thinking a radeon 7770?

I think that's quite a bit of overkill for a machine not doing any gaming. Even the 7730 would be, but both are pretty cheap. Even if you do something like a 6450 it would run three displays.
