like what people do when they set up multiple monitors for their computers but instead of having 2 monitors displaying 2 screens just one monitor displaying 2 or 4 screens
and if you could give some info on how i would do this i would appreciate it. thanks in advance
and im talking about one monitor i know you can do it with 2 (by buying another monitor) but i want to do it with just 1
Answer
First you need a graphics card that can handle it. Unfortunately most of these cost quite a bit of money, however for only 2 you should be fine with a mid-range card from AMD or Nvidia. I haven't looked it up but I would assume the mid-rage models would cost about $120 (I own a high-end $280 card for gaming). Then you need (obviously) more than one monitor, however for best results they should be the same resolution and have thin bezels so it's not as noticeable side-by-side.

Is this a good gaming laptop setup?

Answer
Does someone really need to answer this? Hell yes! To give you some perspective-
1) Most games don't need more than 6GB of RAM
2) You can max out all games with one 780M, but you have two [4GB of VRAM? Games will not use more than 1.2 GB on 1080p, but thats not my point. 2x 780s can back up 4GB of VRAM in terms of horsepower, so it would be a waste to use them on one screen.]. You can pretty much buy two more monitors and have a surround setup at home. I would either get a high refresh rate gaming monitor [A good 240Hz] and use that instead of the laptop screen, or I would get 2x more monitors [1080P, 60Hz, thin bezels] and configure them in surround.
3) Has the highest level consumer i7 which is the fastest performing consumer chip.
The only thing I would change would be the mSATA SSD- I would get 2x 256GB modules and configure them in RAID 0 for super fast OS and game load times and use the HDD for mass storage or alternatively get one 1TB HDD for mass storage and another 512MB SSD and use that for storing
my games and the OS.
PS- Nothing on the mouse or headset has been mentioned. Don't forget those as those can make or break many games. I would also probably get a good external mechanical keyboard, but try the different types if you are going to buy one. The reason for an external keyboard is
1) You face is not pressed against the screen
2) If the laptop becomes warm, your hands won't feel uncomfortable.
3) More ergonomic and pleasenter to use
4) Possibility of macro keys on the side for quick button use.
I would probably invest in a Corsair k70/ k65 [if you want portability] and a G500S from Logitech or an Ouroboros from Razer with a good mousemat and a decent gaming headset/ speaker setup.
Hope this helps! :)
PPS- If you don't want a portable system or if you reconsider, I would invest in a desktop as its cheaper in the long run as you can upgrade the graphic card/ storage/ sound solution/ etc. and it also comes with a much longer warranty on the parts if you built it yourself.
