I want to build a multi-monitor setup I have gtx 670.

 

I will be mainly doing blogging, video editing (not pro), photo editing(not pro), graphics design (not pro). watching videos and movies other than that

 

I will be spending most of the time on the internet using reddit, facebook, twitter and doing research for my blog.

 

Please suggest which monitors should I get. I already have benq xl2420t (those amazing gaming days).

 

Budget is 162$ for each monitors.

 

Rest of my build is 

 

intel 80gb ssd

8gb kingston ram

intel dx58so motherboard

i7 980x

2 x 1tb hard drives

h100i cpu cooler

1000 watt cooler master power supply

Cabinet corsair 600t

and off corse cd-rom

Why do you need three monitors for just browsing the web and some video editing? Two would be enough, and one could do. 

What do they know of England, who only England know?

2 will be more than enough, plus budget please. If you don't specify a budget, you could end up getting a 2x 12 core Xeon build :P

WE NEED A BUDGET!

Also whats the rest of your build?

Budget is 162$ for each monitors.

$159.99 + free shipping. IMO Dell makes some pretty good monitors.

If you can spare an extra $2 I would highly recommend the Dell P2314H's.
