Having used a triple monitor setup before, I wouldn't recommend it. It's way too finicky, with extremely poor support from devs. I now have an ultrawide and it's so much better! The only time I'd consider multi monitors would be for racing sims. As far as the card is concerned, it really depends on the game. 3 1080p is 3/4 of 4K. The 1070 would do it, but I'd recommend a 1080 or 1080Ti.

Nowadays I'm not sure I'd even do that.

 

$400 will buy you a nice HMD with rotation tracking, which will be a hell of a lot more immersive than triple monitors.

SFF-ish:  Ryzen 5 1600X, Asrock AB350M Pro4, 16GB Corsair LPX 3200, Sapphire R9 Fury Nitro -75mV, 512gb Plextor Nvme m.2, 512gb Sandisk SATA m.2, Cryorig H7, stuffed into an Inwin 301 with rgb front panel mod.  LG27UD58.

 

Aging Workhorse:  Phenom II X6 1090T Black (4GHz #Yolo), 16GB Corsair XMS 1333, RX 470 Red Devil 4gb (Sold for $330 to Cryptominers), HD6850 1gb, Hilariously overkill Asus Crosshair V, 240gb Sandisk SSD Plus, 4TB's worth of mechanical drives, and a bunch of water/glycol.  Coming soon:  Bykski CPU block, whatever cheap Polaris 10 GPU I can get once miners start unloading them.

 

MintyFreshMedia:  Thinkserver TS130 with i3-3220, 4gb ecc ram, 120GB Toshiba/OCZ SSD booting Linux Mint XFCE, 2TB Hitachi Ultrastar.  In Progress:  3D printed drive mounts, 4 2TB ultrastars in RAID 5.

I have a rift, but can only use it for about an hour at a time before my eyes go weird. Monitors don't cause the same fatigue. It's all personal preference I suppose.

yeah, I'd say for around $1200-1500 (~$500ish for HMD, rest for wheel/pedals/shifter/cockpit) you could have a really nice, relatively compact sim
