hexa monitor?!?!

So I'm trying to get a five or six monitor setup at my new house, but I'm on a super tight budget. I already have 3 17" 1024x768 monitors available to me by Christmas time, and one 20" 1600x900 now. I'm planning on buying one more 20" 1600x900 and one more 17" 1024x768. That's six. I am also planning to buy a GTX 750 Ti FTW, that can support 3 monitors, and a Radeon HD 6670. Can the radeon support 3 monitors? If I do light gaming on all six, will it use both cards? Will it even work at all? I just play Minecraft. All suggestions are helpful!

Other specs:

Ivy-Bridge Core i3 3240

8gb ram 1600mhz

300watt PSU (upgrading to 550)

1tb hard drive

Foxconn Joshua motherboard.

You can't run minecraft with two graphics cards. why do you need so many monitors anyways?

Won't work at all.

I'd suggest using two of the same card and sli/crossfiring them instead. (750 ti cannot be sli'd)

 

Why do you need so many monitors if you are just playing minecraft?

I also just thought it would be really cool

You should probably organize yourself and get 2 decent monitors.

Depends on which HD 6670 you have. The ones with a DisplayPort output will allows for three displays.

 

You'll be able to run six monitors (three on the HD 6670, and three on the GXT 750 Ti) for work related tasks...as they'll each drive their own displays.

 

Unfortunately, you won't be able to game on all six.

Plus, the HD 6670 or GTX 750Ti will choke to death trying to drive even three monitors for gaming -- let alone six.
