Should I use these side by side?

I am not so sure on whether I should use a monitor and a TV side by side, or just use 1 monitor.

 

I plan to do multi-tasking and streaming games when I get my PC and setup done. 

 

The displays I currently have:

I do have some cheap monitors that I found online:

Should I go with the Dell and the Vizio? Just the Dell, or buy a second monitor?

 

Suggestions for other cheap monitors welcome! Would like to have HDMI, or DisplayPort! I would also like it to be under $150.

the sky is up

If you're planning on portrait mode you'll want a 1440p display minimum
 

Otherwise probably just use a 1080p IPS display on the side, or save up and get like a 1080p 144hz free-sync main display or something

HDMI/Display port isn't something the cheaper IPS displays usually have

You'd need to get probably his free-sync display which has display port and HDMI, but would be TN

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?
