What do i need to upgrade to play at high settings on an eyefinity setup.
I have
AMD X4 640 @ 3.6GHz
12GB DDR3
AMD HD 6950 2GB
520W PSU

I have a 24" 1080p screen and looking to add 2 more (for work purposes with gaming being a bonus)

I have a crossfire motherboard, but if I add another GPU I need to upgrade the PSU as well.

I can upgrade to a phenom black processor. probably be the easiest thing but GPUs seem to play a bigger role in most games.

Games I'll be playing, Arkham city and BF3
 
all you need is a good 650W power supply (antec truepower comes to mind) and another 6950 to play at high settings.
all i will advise you to do is not to get the asus DirectCUII because that card takes up three slots, which makes things very toasty. the MSI twin frozr is always a good shout

also, check that your motherboard can support crossfire at x8/x8 speeds or greater, otherwise your motherboard will bottleneck the cards
