Triple monitor setup? Update: Which graphics card?

UPDATE: Now I am wondering about getting a single GTX 650 ti boost instead of trying to SLI, since I would have to get a new power supply. Is this a decent upgrade? Or should I aim for something else?


Okay, so I have a nVidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti graphics card and a 32" Vizio LCD HDTV that I have been using as a monitor. After a while of using just that I decided I wanted to go the Multi-Monitor route. So I bought a 23" ASUS MX239 frameless LCD with the intent of getting another.

So, I just got my second monitor today and I am now painfully aware that I will not be able to run all three monitors at the same time with my current setup.

I would like to be able to at least run an extended desktop with all three displays (I dont care about scaling issues between the Vizio and the MX239's). I would also like to be able to play games extended onto the MX239's. It would be nice to get a higher end graphics card but I would still like the possibility of extending even further to a third ASUS MX239.

TL;DR

I have:
GeForce GTX 560 Ti - graphics card
Vizio E322VL 32" HDTV
ASUS MX239 monitor [x2]

I want:
To play games across the MX's.
To extend the desktop across all three.
To have the possibility of adding a third MX.
To not waste money.

What are your thoughts?

Simple to say, you need another GPU to do what you want. triple monitor for Fermi (GTX500 and GTX400), and before for Nvidia needed SLI to run. You can get a GTX600 series and do it single carded, or another 560ti and SLI it, assume your PSU and board are up to teh job.
 
Well my MB is an ASUS P8-P67M PRO, not too sure about my PSU though. I didn't pay too much attention to it when I got the computer so its probably not high end.

Also, if I SLI it, will that add two more monitors to the cap, or just one?
