This is my rig as close as possible

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/PhxwRB

Just bought 6 new fans for the case, then 2 static fans for the liquid cooler, I haven't added those yet.

I'm looking to be able to run this
3 marvel hero's
3 Diablo 3s
4 Blade and Souls
With some Diablo 2mixed into it

CPU and ram is fine, BC its not all going to be running at once but on marvel hero's and I get up to like 3 Blade and souls and they throw me an error "marvel heroes run out of video memory"

And they close x.x I want to be able to run them 24/7 but I can't even run them 5+ with out that error x.x

Any recommend graphic cards? Looking to stay under 300 but if I won't have to replace the graphic card for atless a few years I'll throw out a few more hundred but only if you can give me great reasons why.

Thanks for all your help :D

Well you can go 2 ways if you need a lot of vram to run all your games.
You can add a r9 390 for a total of 10gb of vram, or you buy two 750ti and replace your current gpu for a total of 8gb.
Also of course a single 750ti + your current grafic card might also be enough. Dont know how much vram your going to need.

Most likely you will hit the cpu limit very soon anyway. simply adding a single 750ti would be the cheapest option.

Nope. If your run 2 grafics card in SLI /Crossfire they act like 1 grafic card and mirror the vram. But thats not what you need. You can mix all different kinds of grafics card in your computer as long as they work on different task / games.
You can have 4 games run on your current GPU and others on the second GPU.

Usually it's under settings in the game.
Otherwise windows has an option to run applications with certain hardware.
