Edit: I'd even stretch to $220 (assuming it's in stock) and get this: pricespy.co.nz

1326956 2013-02-07 08:59:00 hmm, the pricespy one is out of stock and the palytech one does not support dual monitors :( mcclma (17006)

1326958 2013-02-07 10:15:00 I would definitely recommend the HD 7770 for a budget card and its pretty good value as well. btw the 560 se is not much better than the 7770 and for that sort of price you almost get a 650 ti jonovw (16835)
1326959 2013-02-07 11:28:00 I'll second that notion, for that budget, you won't get much better than the 7770. icow is pretty much on the money there with the advice.

You could always go here: pbtech.co.nz

Also, the 7770 supports 3 monitors quite happily.

Oh, wow, thanks for that. I will buy one after i get home from work today. Also how does is support 3 monitors with only HDMI and DVI ports - Sorry, I'm kind of new to the whole graphics card process :)

1326961 2013-02-07 18:23:00 From memory you need to use the mini-display ports. If your screen doesn't support then you'll need to get an adapter. Not sure if you can use dvi and hdmi or not. icow (15313)

I am currently using DVI and VGA - one for each monitor, can i convert to VGA somehow?

1326963 2013-02-07 19:48:00 The DVI port will be able to output VGA through an adapter, and the card might come with one. You should be able to use the HDMI for the DVI monitor through an adapter also as it's basically the same standard from an image perspective but you'll have to buy one of those (or a DVI-HDMI cable is a good option, tidier). VGA is becoming unusual these days so very few cards have the connector on them (if any) dugimodo (138)
