The gaming multi-monitor setups are very high demanding if you play games on them. If not it is ok. I use at work 3 19" 4:3s at default res I guess it was 1280x960 on integrated Intel 4000s Laptop Card and it works perfect for normal office applications on i5 3generation 4 GB DDR3 around 2 years old notebook.
You will need SLI made of 2 Titans GPUs to run Star Citizen properly on 3 Monitors, it is just brutal, as I said in my previous post sadly cards does not scale really well if you increase the numbers.
However connecting 3 monitors for work on any common proper mid/high end card wont be problem, most of the cards have a lot of connection options- you just need the proper cables or adapters if needed and you can game on your main monitor only while using the others for OS etc.

You cannot reach your CPU bottleneck with your card, so you does not need to worry. Today games are really about GPUs I also use ancient CPU on my old gaming PC however 90% of all games run in FullHD without a problem. Only more CPU demanding games have Frame drops sometimes like PlanetSide 2 but I heard that it is just laggy for everyone in big Melees.

You can wait for sure with the CPU update. DDR4 and new type of boards/CPUs would be quite well priced next year at this time, keeping DDR3 board and updating its CPU would be bad idea, great idea would be to sell your DDR3 after 5-8 months because you would be able to buy new DDR4 AND Mobo with the money from your second hand sold DDR3, you just need to finance your new faster DDR4 type CPU.

About the Card is also up to you if you have stuff that does not work now then update now or wait for Star Citizen. There are only few games that are CPU intensive like SC2 and PS2 from the biggest names, 95% are GPU based and CPU is more or less irrelevant if it covers the minimum requirements.

Official faction players that are often accused of elitism, never deploy them and have those weird, immersion killing "fair fight/dueling" suicidal hobbies. (yes, i've seen enough of those lolduels, where house military with overwhelming force on the field willingly loses a pilot in a duel. ffs.)
