Res?

 

[steve55m]

well not sure either

either a single 27 or 2 x 24"

 

[arc@css]

So 1080p or 1440p? Either way, 4gb of vram would be a waste.

 

[steve55m]

so would 2 x 2gb be sufficient and if so which card would you suggest and which psu?

 

[arc@css]

Yes, 2gb is more than sufficient. I think some of the 7950's are not voltage locked, but I don't know which. Personally, I'd want a 7950 that had no overclocking restrictions; it would be probably be best if you ask in customer services about that (if that matters to you).

Regarding a psu, I'm no expert but maybe something like this :

I've allowed for dual cards, but you may not even need that much.

See what others have to say.

which 670 card is the best to use?

The brands I like are Gigabyte, KFA2, EVGA and MSI. Looking at the list here, I'd probably go for the card below (1st link). However, decent case cooling would be required since the heat isn't ported directly out the back of the case. So, if that is a problem, then something like (2nd link onwards) might be the ticket.

There are plenty of 670 users around here, and I'm sure they will be happy to offer their help.
