Upgrade existing system

[mart1985]

I am looking into purchasing a new monitor to go with my existing 27" DGM. I want to use one for gaming and one for watching sport/movies. My existing set-up includes:

i5-3570K
Gigabyte Z77X-ud3H
AMD Radeon HD 7900

Presumably I should get a new graphics card to run HDMI outputs for the two monitors as my existing card only has one? Would I be better off upgrading my motherboard too?

Also I am unsure on what type of screen to get and whether to keep my DGM for gaming or use that for movies. I don't want anything smaller than the DGM as the second screen and preferably bigger. I might look at running my ps4 off the second monitor too (if that is feasible).

Any help appreciated

snips86x - I have a XFX 850W XXX Edition Modular '80 Plus Silver'. Happy to wait for June if there is going to be a significant upgrade?

Andreas - CM Storm Stryker Full Tower Gaming Case and no real budget, just within reason!

stulid - I was running an old Dell monitor off the board but it suddenly stopped working and I've never been able to figure out why. I would prefer to run both off the graphics card, although I gather I will have to run most games in windowed mode to be able to watch movies on the other screen at the same time?

Is that due to running two games at the same time? One and a movie would be fine?

Does anyone have any suggestions on monitors? Would you go for say, a super widescreen for movies and keep the DGM for gaming?
