Question on a build

[GamerPaPaWill]

Budget (including currency): unknown

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: RPG and Streaming

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

Looking at possible doing a 3 monitor setup with the middle monitor being my primary gaming screen, left and right monitor being for gaming guides and general information as well as stream chat ect.

 

I am looking at 3x AOC C27G2Z 27" 1440p, 144hz monitors or possibly GIGABYTE G27QC 27" 165Hz 1440P. My question is, when partnered with a RTX 3080 would a 10700k be good or should I bite the bullet and go for the 10900k? I am waiting for the announcement from AMD about zen 3 to see how gaming performance is before buying. frame rate is not the most important to me but high settings and coming close to the refresh of the monitor would be nice. Any advice on triple monitor setups and things to watch for would be appreciated. Thanks

10700k should be enough.

also, you don't need all three monitors to be 144hz.

you can have the side ones as 60/75 and only the main one as 144 or 165.

Thanks for quick reply only reason i was going to keep the monitors the same was because the prices aren't bad and if I ever wanted to try something like flight sim or iracing I had that option.
