Budget triple monitor gaming setup - Help Needed

HerpyDerpy

Hey everyone. 

 

I need some advice! I am looking into buying three monitors for a three monitor set up. Below is my current monitor...

Its pretty old... its a WJ1780PI.

 

Unfortunately I have no idea what I am looking at when it comes to specs. I have been looking at these three monitors VC239H, VS239H-P & VC239H-W. Do they seem worth it? Im a software engineer student so the three displays would come in handy for all of those windows but I would also be looking to game on it. I have a budget of around £400 ($400 or 648 Canadian Dollars).

 

My computer specs:

Intel i7-5820K

16GB dual channel RAM

X99-Deluxe motherboard 

Nvidia 980TI (I think its called a reference card?)

 

Do these seem like good monitors?

Which of the three is the best?

Or is there a monitor that is better and worth the cost?

Also it needs VESA (So I can mount them) and thin side parts if possible.

 

One last thing, can you change the cooler on a graphics card to another type or does that ruin it?

 

Thanks for your help!

Asus's "thin bezel" line up just has a big ass black bar

Go for dell's ultrasharp lineup, Friend recently bought one and it looks thin and sexy

 

If I were you i would get two 29" and have one verticle

Hi,

 

why not Ultrawide?

 

Anyway, you should look for response times, anything below 5ms is good for gaming, and you might want to Czech out a VESA triple monitor stand, if you want one, you'll need a monitor with VESA mounts.

Please don't push the "5ms grey-grey makes you better" crap. It's really gringey.

I'm not.

@rrubberr hope you don't mind me asking, but what are you using your 4 workstations for? Just curious.

Is your budget 400 pounds overall or for each

 

Its 400 overall. Do you think I should get a single better monitor and then buy the others afterwards?

I'm all for upgrading, I would just get 1 or 2 monitors now and get the second or third later, i recommend Asus VX24AH 24.0" 2560x1440 60Hz Monitor
