graphics card(s) for triple screen setup

[blooblaa]

hello,

 

so i wanna build my first pc with an triple screen setup, i got a list with the parts i got in mind now:      (my budget is 400 euro so like 480 dollar)

-cpu: intel core i3-4150

-motherboard: asus b85-pro gamer

-ram: 8gb

-(boot)ssd: Sandisk ReadyCashe 32gb

-Hard drive: 1tb

-case: homemade case

-psu: 1000 watt supply (for upgrading in the future)

 

i don't know which gpu(s) to take. i already have a gpu from my old pc: NVIDIA GeForce 7950 gt, but i think its to old to use. so i would love to know what you guys think is the best cpu for this system. (i'm sorry for spelling mistakes)

The 200 series is the current AMD lineup. So R9 280x and R9 290.

tanks! do you think this is possible with a intel i3/i5?

yes but I can't recommend i3's

[blooblaa]

yes but I can't recommend i3's

do you think i5 is really better? because my budget is 500 dollar

[blooblaa]

an i5 processor has ddr3-sdram can i put a graphics card with gddr5-sdram on that?

First off upgrade the CPU. Would not reccomend an i3. Second for a 3x monitor setup I would go for a beefery card. I would go for a 970 (yes I know the RAM issuses) if the cash permits. As low as a 750ti can go 3x monitor though I wouldnt suggest a 750ti for that. Overall I would cut one monitor until you can upgrade in the future so you can save some cash.

Definitely do not need a 1000w PSU.

i have new components in mind:

-cpu: intel core i5-4460

-mobo: asus h81 gamer

-gpu: sapphire radeon r9 280x dual-x 3gb (i can buy a almost not used one for 100 euro)

-psu: 850 watt (i can get a used one for 25 euro)

-case: homemade case

-ssd: 32 gb (just for boot and basic stuff)

-hdd: 2x 1tb

-ram: 2x 8 gb (i can buy new ones for 25 euro)

 

Definitely do not need a 1000w PSU.

this components are definitly not my last ones for this pc, and i am gonna upgrade this thing very much so if i have a good psu now i don't have to upgrade soon.

Still won't need 1000W. Newer parts are using less and less power.

[Maslofski]

im not sure ive the OS will even fit on that SSD
