What do you guys think about it? I think I'll be running it on 3 23" 1080p screens, do you think it can handle it? Maybe 1440p, if the pc can handle it.

 

Will the watercooling keep my Cpu cooled?

And how will it run big games like crysis 3 and bf4 on 3 23" 1080p screens? ( not saying that I'll get 3 1080p's, just want to know)

dual 780 Ti's for 3 1080p monitors seems illogical, you should get some 2560x1440p monitors just because you can

Thats illogical... with the limited VRAM they will not do so well at 3 1440p monitors. Not to mention three 1440p monitors is more pixels than a 4K display.

you would be better off with 2 290x's as they perform better at higher resolutions?

Quack 🦆
