Hi, Everyone,

I have a desktop I built a bit more than a year ago. Here are it's "stats":

CPU: Intel Core i5-3450 3.1GHz Quad-Core

Motherboard: MSI Z77A-G43 ATX LGA1155

Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1333

Storage : Corsair Force Series 60GB 2.5" SSD
Intel 320 Series 120GB 2.5" SSD
Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB 3.5" 7200RPM
Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM

Video Card: Asus Radeon HD 7750 1GB

Case: Azza Helios 910 ATX Mid Tower

Power Supply: Corsair 500W ATX12V

Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B3ST/BLK/G/AS DVD/CD Writer

Monitor: 2 BenQ GW2450 24" 1920 x 1080 Glossy LCD Monitors.

I am about to move the whole mess to another room, one where I will have room for three monitors. If I decide to get a third monitor, it will be another BenQ GW, as they have stood me in good stead.

That, however, brings me to my question, if anyone can answer: can this setup stand working with three monitors? As it is, I had to use an adapter to add the second monitor, and I'd have to do a bit of research to see about how to add the third. But first, obviously, it strikes me as a good idea to find out if it's even worth it to pick up that third monitor (the 24" GW's are on sale at Newegg for a couple more days--but I might actually go for a 27" as my middle monitor).

Or, should I start planning to first do a bit of upgrading?

If you are going to be gaming on more than 1 of them at a time, I would upgrade video card to AT LEAST 2GB. should work though.
