Of course a 680/7970 is the better card. However I don't think the 680 is worth the extra 100$. Both cards perform superbly and you only gain a few extra frames, so therefore most agree its not worth the extra 100$. I didn't mean the card was a disappointment in that its a bad card, its just not a card that hugely warrants a purpose. The 660 delivers performance just under that of the Ti version, but is 80$ cheaper. The 7950 is in the same price category as the 660Ti but outperforms it.
So therefore I suggest one 670 which is plenty of power, with the option to add another 670 in the future, or crossfired 7870/7950s whichever he can afford. However for triple monitors dual cards are advised, not required, but advised.
PS. What is it with people and grammar in this section?
