Looking for Advice

I am updating a couple of things on my rig soon and just wanted some advice.  I currently have an x99 based system.  I have 3 27in monitors but only use 2 of them due to my current graphics card.  I need to get a different card and wanted some advice on what card to get.  I want to stick to just a single card and would appreciate any advice on what card to get that can support triple monitors.  Otherwise I was considering just switching to 2 ultra wide monitors.  The other upgrade that I am considering is getting an Intel 750 series drive.  Part of my dilemma is which one to pursue first.  Also need to replace my speaker system as its getting a little long in the tooth.  Its a Sony DVD Dream System from 2005.  Input and suggestions would be appreciated.

My current monitors are 1920x1080p w/ 120hz refresh rate.  I want to play on all 3 and I got the monitors with that in mind but didnt get to do that right away and now certain things have changed so Im looking at my options.  I play pretty much everything out there for games.  Mainly MMO's and FPS's though.  Basically my budget is somewhat open but Im not going to spend a 1000 dollars on something just cause its the best thing out there.  Im all about quality but Im also trying to be practical and dont want to go crazy on what I buy.
