If you want to game on 21:9, you are going to need something more powerful. Productivity, on the other hand, should be fine.

get a different CPU, a fricken 860k beats it in like everything and is $20 cheaper.

you don't need such a good GPU for productivity, I would go with an i5 or 8350 and a GTX 950.

21:9 display, and 2 16:9 displays.

if you're planning on gaming on all three

just no `-`

 

the r9 380 can hardly handle one 1080p 16:9 at high/ultra settings in demanding games

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately

what are the resolution of those monitors and how many are you going to game on

 

also, with your budget, this is probably the best card, if not the 380X

I think I'm gonna game mainly on the 21:9. Not very heavy games: TF2, minecraft, LoL, etc.

then a GTX 950 will be fine for those games

an 700 dollar computer will not rock any one thing, gaming should be fine and productivity to if you have 1 2k monitor.

3 of them is too absurd for a 380

 

I see, and what if I'm gonna buy a second GPU, or just one instead of two, in what pricerange am I then (if that makes any sense)

if i were you getting 2 1080p displays and a 2k too, i would be drastically increasing my budget.

consider having a 1000 or 1500 dollar budget for that particular purpose, but if your doing causual editing, and dont mind 30fps and slow rendiering, a 380 will be fine.

Allright, and what if I'm gonna switch to two 21:9 instead of one 21:9 and two 16:9? Is the gpu still powerfull enough?
