Oh, no way, that's amazing news! Thank you. It's 3 monitors on 1080p. Thanks for the input, I'd previously been running games in windowed borderless as I never could play them on all of my monitors.

933 MHz:

Ah, thanks. So I've saved money today by not spending any

No problem, thank you for your input. So, what I've got from this thread is, don't bother changing ram or cpu. Upgrade the gpu if I have the money (I've saved money to upgrade my pc). Motheredboard is still undecided but I guess in the same boat as the ram. If anyone else has some input, I'd greatly appreciate it. I just want to play games on 3 monitors

I'm not entirely sure about that, I have gone through the process before and couldn't find anything to fix the issue.

Not even for the ram? I was thinking that I don't really need 32gb and I can't even get the 1866 Mhz speed even after setting it up in the bios.

I haven't even utilized the majority of my build either, I wanted to overclock my 4770k and never got around to it. I believe I need a fresh start, reformat and setup everything the way it should be. I love my computer but I am really stupid and get confused easily when it gets technical really.

It was something to do with random throttling or something. Plus I had been previously recommended to wait a little while for an EVGA overclocked 1080. Oh, I had not actually looked into the specs too much. I have just been reading guides/builds of people wondering to get an i5 or i7 and every time the answer was i5 and with the 6600k being one of the latest cpus, I figured it was the best move to make. I am a little stupid for not looking at specs. The only reason why I wish to get the 1080 is due to the fact that I was told the gtx 780 wouldn't be able to play 1 game on screens at once. I have noticed a lot of talk about the gpu/cpu but not recommendations on RAM, is that due to me not having a suggestion of my own or is it just a less spoken topic?

I've read that there's some issues with the current gtx 1080's so that's why I'm holding back.

With the release of the GTX 1080 I decided I wish to upgrade. My current build can be found here: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/OffensiveExile/saved/wYbFf7 and it is not that old in terms of hardware/use but I believe there are some parts that I could do with replacing, such as my cpu, motherboard, ram and gpu. I am wanting advice on what specific hardware I should be getting but I already have an idea for cpu/gpu. CPU: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80662i56600k (with overclocking enabled) GPU: GTX 1080 (when it is released by a third party) I am unsure of my RAM and motherboard as I've never directly looked into them but I was wondering if 16gb, ddr4 would be suitable and if so, how should I go about getting the correct model (same with the motherboard)? I have 3 monitors, as you can see in the build and I am wanting to start play games on all 3 of my monitors and/or in ultra with reasonable FPS on a single monitor. Games I play; World of Warcraft (I can imagine it being beautiful across 3 monitors), Heroes of the Storm, CS:GO, Black Ops 3, Rocket League.

Didn't take anything but thanks

Okay that is great news, thank you for your insight.

Thank you for the input, at least I know how to go about fixing the issue if I return to that desktop stand. I don't think the height would be a huge issue as I've never adjusted the height of the current stand since I had it so I believe I would be using the same height or slightly higher. Would you recommend getting a flexible wall mount for the main monitor and two flat wall mounts for the side monitors to make it closer to the wall? I wouldn't want it to be far off the wall and not in line with the main centre monitor.

Greetings everyone, I purchased myself 2* http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00C99MUHQ and 1* http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00C144AYK in 2014 and also got myself a stand to hold all 3 of them on, the issue with the stand is that it would never hold the monitors on line with each other, the centre piece was always a few centimetres higher than the two side monitors and it annoyed me ever since I noticed it. I recently moved and decided I would like to setup my monitors on my wall but the issue is, I have 3 monitors and a corner desk. My desk isn't currently in its resting place as I need access to the plug socket behind the desk but once I have my extension I will be able to push it into the corner correctly. Here is an image of my desk and current monitor stand: http://puu.sh/mhuT3/8287d8f1b1.jpg I would like for the side monitors to be flat on the wall with the main monitor diagonal evenly between. What would my best option be for the wall mounts at a reasonable price (in England). I have seen items such as: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Duronic-TVB1120-Cantilever-Monitor-Bracket/dp/B00PEQNZPM which seem awkward be maybe perfect for what I need.

Is this considered as okay for office software: http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/computing/laptops/laptops/acer-aspire-es1-531-15-6-laptop-red-10137569-pdt.html
