does 3-monitor gaming required in future?

gaming monitor smallest bezel image

Mohammed

Hi all
I am planing to build new gaming PC
however, I saw 3-monitors avaliable and supported by new graphic cards.
I really did not like this idea.
I prefer to purchase 2560*1600 monitor instead.
what do you think ?


thanks

I like a 3 monitor setup better than 1 high resolution monitor just because you can multitask a lot better and for gaming you have a larger field of view. You'll probably see about twice as much with 3D Vision/Eyefinity monitor setup because you will have 2 monitors on the side just for your peripheral vision.

I recently bought a Asus VN247H-P monitor, this one has a very small bezel. You may want to check that out.

Which type of monitor should I get (and some other stuff too)?

Don't read this if you don't have the time, because I am asking a lot of you guys for this question. I am doing some research on getting some various computer parts, but I would like some professional or even novice advice on what to get.

I know that I am not supposed to ask a question that has already been asked, but my question is fairly specific. I am looking for two identical monitors, with a small amount of space around the sides. My price range is $100 or a little bit over for each one, with the size being anywhere from 17-23 inches, depending on the pricing.

I am also looking for some high quality RAM, preferably the newer version (I do believe it is called DDR5?) It should app to 8 gigs total. I have 4 slots, so I guess if 4 2gigs is the best, then that could work.

I am looking for a second video card. I have a Radeon 6850, and it is awesome. However, if there is a card that can be cross-fired with it that is slightly less expensive, than I would like to get that. Otherwise I will have to get a second one, which I find unnecessary. I need something in between.

I am eventually going to have a 4 monitor setup, with them all mounted to the wall. No, I am not looking to get one of those 2 grand setups or whatever, just 4 monitors. I will do the rest. If anyone has any suggestions as to how I should do this, that would be awesome. Also, if anyone has any suggestions as to what monitors I should use for this, that would be great too.

I need a desk. I am putting that in another thread because it doesn't really apply to this section, but I am looking for one of those L shaped desks, for a decent price. ($400 or so, max)

And a CPU. I am looking for a phenom II 4/6-core, preferably clock-able to >4.0ghz. My cooling system can handle pretty much anything. (I actually keep a couple bags of ice in the refigerator, then put one behind and one in from of my computer with a fan, so the fan blows really cold air on the computer. With the liquid cooling system inside, I can run pretty much anything without it overheating.)

Any other suggestions. Oh and BTW, I have a 700 watt power supply. Will I need to upgrade that?

Thanks in advance. And like I said, don't get mad at me or tell me to use Google. Believe me, I have. I would just like some not too bias advice, you know? Ask the guy at Best Buy, and you know what he is going to say...

Answer
well for monitors, it depends on the res, ur gonna get 4 so 1080p is unnecessary, you could get this one:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824254054 bezel isn't super tiny but it isn't super huge

RAM: 8 GB is good for what ur doing, btw the highest memory they have is DDR3, they have GDDR5 in things like video cards bt that's because it needs to be fast, i would recommend getting 2x4 GB incase you need to upgrade but 1x8 is a little too much. i would recommend corsair vengeance

Video: only the same cards can be crossfired but you can have different cards, not CF them, but idk how gaming will go then, i would recommend getting another 6850 but if it's too expensive, get a 6750

Mounting: i'm sorry but i reall can't help you here

CPU: i recommend the i7 2600k, it has extensive OC'ing capabilities and t's $300 and if you get it you will need to switch mobos so keep that in mind

Other: PSU seems alright but if you get a second 6850, it might not be enough power
