1: Can a GTX 780 w/ACX cooler push two 1080p screens?

 

2: If not, would it be worth it to get a second 780 or should I sell the 780 and get a ti?

 

3: If yes to sli 780, Would I need a stronger psu? My current one is a Rosewill 750 fortress.

 

4: If yes to #3, Would either of these work? and which is better? http://goo.gl/rexz8I or http://goo.gl/5jOUW

 

Just so you know I want to add a second Asus VG248QE to my setup.

If your gonna use multiple screens to game ( have the game across both) use 3 atleast or the bezel will annoy you, i see no reason why a 780 couldnt do 2 1080p, my current setup is a 780ti and 3 1080p screens can max most stuff ultra bf4 is about 45 fps but with a little tuning can get over 60 easy i use a 780ti and 3570k oc to 4.4ghz i use a 600w psu

1: Yes, but you should get 3 monitors like @phillrulz said.

2: A Ti isn't worth the cost IMO. Its price to performance is pretty low.

3: Your current PSU is fine for SLI ATM.

4: If you really want to buy another PSU, get the EVGA one for its trusted reliability.

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

I would firstly get a third monitor and see how you like it. If you feel the need to add another 780, then your PSU will definitely allow it.

Buy another 780 and 2 more monitors (3 monitors total). No need to get another PSU.

Well the real reason I wanted two was so I could look at other things while gaming. I wasn't planning on playing on multiple screens. Plus I would be pushing my luck to fit three on here.

You want to use it as a secondary monitor so you can watch YouTube, etc? You don't need a second graphics card for that. I've got a single GTX 660 and I have a dual monitor setup.

Then why don't you just get a cheaper 60Hz 1080p Monitor? You won't get any benefit from that high refresh rate if you're only using one for gaming. You'll save about 150$.

I'm a bit picky with looks. I wouldn't like having two different monitors.

The Asus VE24H looks identical to the VG248QE, it's 24", 60Hz and 1080p.
