Thats a pretty beastly build, bit overkill for a single monitor

[farhanorakzai]

will you only be gaming? and i'd get a ducky shine 3, it's only a bit more, but trust me when i say it's worth it. i'd get a different mouse also. i have the deathadder, it's not very well built/made. you probably should get maybe an 850 watt or above psu for future upgrades, but other than that, the build looks good

Don't worry. More monitors coming soon

[MattWakey]

Don't worry. More monitors coming soon

Im sure dual 980 would destroy even 3 1440p displays, let alone 3 1080p

[Gr8White_Bear]

Why only 1080p though?

I will be mostly using this build for gaming but I will also be using it for video editing and rendering. I'm honestly not a huge fan of the ducky shine for aesthetic purposes since I'm a perfectionist and it HAS to match the rest of my rig.(BLUE LED:D). I might switch out the power supply with an 850 watt platinum fully modular power supply. What mouse would you recommend(wired)?

Thank you for the feedback

[KiBlast9000]

Why only 1080p though?

I think he wants the 144Hz refresh rate and maybe for a chance to install the G-sync DIY kit in the future that is why he went for that monitor. But does it have 1440p monitors at 144Hz or 120hz?? I don't know. But if it has, I agree with MattWakey's opinion with the three 1440p displays. Those 980's can do it.

[Tabor]

Why only 1080p though?

I will probably eventually move up to 4k or higher but because of the 980's D.S.R(down sampling resolution) I can pretty much get 4k on 1080p.

That is part of the reason I chose this monitor.

I know, I cant wait to see it in action. Overclocking tests as well

Let us know your benchmarks and overclock setting when you build it:)
