Hello all,
I've been interested in upgrading my work station (also gaming station) by investing in multiple monitors. I'm not looking for more than 3 monitors, but I would like to have at least 20' monitors. I currently have a 21' monitor that I have plugged into a graphics card that hasn't let me down, yet. Its connection to the monitor is DVI, but I'd like all new monitors to use HDMI cables. My computer (from Dell) is an XPS 9100, I believe. Core i7 3.20GHz, 8GB RAM, Win 7 64-bit, ATI Radeon HD 5700. Money is only part of an issue -- I'm open to suggestions on higher-end (and lower-end) products.
My questions for you all are:
Thank you all in advance!

My questions for you all are:
- What kind of graphics card should I be looking for (and should I look into a card that can support multiple monitors) and should I use my old one?
- Will there be any conflicts I will need to be aware of while proceeding through this process?
- What would you all recommend for monitor setup?
- What is the best setup for gaming with clear, smooth screens?
- Do I need to upgrade any other hardware parts to make this all work together?
Thank you all in advance!
