Ah, the big one. Excellent, the GTX 750 will easily fit into the system since the Zotac GTX 750 is only 145mm long. Just buy the GTX 750 and not the 750Ti as the 750Ti is a more powerful version of the GTX 750 and since you are only using it to setup the triple displays and not gaming, the GTX 750 will do. Don't worry about the OC part, most non-reference GPUs tend to come with an stable OC from the manufacturer.

You may not want to buy from MyNextCom as some forum users here have complained that MyNextCom did not fulfil sales orders from customers or did not answer customer enquires within an acceptable period of time (ie. no response) which has led to unhappy customers buying their hardware from somewhere else. Search up the forums here and see for yourself.

Which GTX750 card are you getting? Check the connectivity ports carefully. Most have 2 DVI ports and 1 mini-HDMI or DisplayPort. Not sure whether your 3 monitors come with the correct cables...or else you will need to get them. Also I am not sure whether dual-link DVI cables are needed in multi-monitor setup. Maybe the experts can comment on that.

DisplayPort is not required for these Maxwell GPUs, just plug and play for all 3 displays into 1 GPU.

Dual link DVI only provides you with more available bandwidth for higher resolution, higher refresh rates output btw.

Thanks all. Bought the Zotac 750 from PC Themes today. It working fine

Realised the GPU has 3 output, two is two dual-link DVI outputs and one is mini-HDMI .

Both my monitor (will be getting third one in near future) are S2340L with only VGA and HDMI input. How do I optimize the connection?

I read online that I can connect one to the yellow DVI via the DVI-HDMI connector?

The other one I connect using mini HDMI to HDMI?
