Something like an old Gtx 285 2gb would be an awesome old card to use.
I had 2 in sli when they first came out.
Performance is on par with/marginally faster than a gtx 285 at stock, with my heavy overclock, dx11 support, less power draw, it is without a doubt, the superior option.
Gtx 295 possibly, but with higher power draw and no dx11 support, that's a no go.

Ya, 1GB for that resolution would limit settings; you could probably get good performance with one monitor, but Eyefinity is killing your FPS the most...
The CPU is limiting the system more-over, I'd rather be playing at a constant 35fps with the gpu strain matching that of the CPU bottleneck. The closer the max fps is to the min is better in my eyes, playing at 60fps with occasional drops to 35fps looks and feels worse.
