Ah ok that makes sense. Well either way, if you choose a video card with 1X DVI, 1X HDMI, 1X DP, you can do HDMI>DVI for one monitor

Have you checked your local Craigslist for used video cards? 'Good' new cards are out of your price range, so you'll have to either check the classifieds, or try eBay.

Actually ATI 5000 cards support 3 monitors per card (Third monitor MUST be run via displayport), some cards even support 6 monitors.
My suggestion for the ATI route is wait 6 weeks as some 6000 mid range cards are due out in October. Should be some price drops on the 4000 and 5000 series as well as new products.

ATI has released the 68xx series, and while they're great, nVidia has also cut the prices on its GTX 460 and 470.
I have my GTX 470 running close to a 480. While the 470 will MSRP at $260, chances are you'll find nicely rebated versions come Black Friday.

Absolutely. In fact, they're doing a couple weeks of sales leading up the big day.
Zotac is doing a beg rebate/sales gig on their nVidia cards. You can get a GTX 460 from them for 129.99 after a rebate!

You CAN get that 460 right now.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500173&cm_re=zotac_ 460-_-14-500-173-_-Product
It's a weekend special though, so you might have to act quick. However, it has 'only' 768MB which means that if you game over 1680x1050, you might want to get a card with 1GB.
Asus also has a GTX 460 on sale too for the same price after rebate.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121390
If you do decide to wait, then good luck! Chances are, you should be able to find a GTX 460 or even 470 for a great price on Black Friday, or an ATI 5850.

Well, you don't want to spend too much. What you need to do is figure out what resolution you want to play at, what sort of settings you aim to use and decide accordingly.

Probably at midnight, depending on the retailer.
Often, they will send out emails previewing their sales, and the times. So if you don't already, sign up to get those emails from places like newegg.com and tigerdirect.com . They often provide a link to sign up, or you just register to be a customer.
I do think you want to have a couple graphics cards picked out that you know you'll be happy with. That means if you see a really good deal, you'll buy something that you want, instead being upset later. Also, that means you won't have to research the card as much when you see the sale, meaning you'll likely get it, before others grab up the stock.

Radeon 69xx series is supposed to launch soon as well, so that'll probably lower prices of current cards if you can hold out till then.
