My main question is what is the cheapest graphics card that can support 3 monitors? I am not looking to game or anything but looking to support 3 1080p monitors doing scripting, browsing the web and other programs like word or excel. I wont be doing anything heavy with the gpu, no PS or gaming. 

 

As far as i can remember I have a Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2 motherboard.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

Might not be the cheapest thing out there, but I have used it at my job for people and it works great - http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-video-card-gt6402gd3

100 euro I suppose.

I'd sell off my gtx 560ti and add whatever i get from that to the budget

That's around 120$ O.o

 

Try this :D http://pcpartpicker.com/part/powercolor-video-card-axr92702gbd5tdheoc , it's in your budget, it's pretty powerful, and lastly, you could even do some gaming on one monitor :D

 

Why not get the best for your money :D

An r7 260x should do it, it has DVI, DVI-D, and an HDMI ports, so you'll need to have the cables to plug that

It's looking like I'll go for either the R7 260X or the GeForce GT 640 

 

Which is the better card?

260x it's way better, i believe 640 is even GDDR3.

The 260X is a lot faster. That's in gaming performance which may be irrelevant to you, just don't pay as much for a GT 640 as you'd have to pay for a 260X if that's what you're asking.
