Hey,

can anyone help me with specs for a good gaming pc. There are a few things i need.

i need the pc to be able to run 3 monitors 5760 x 1080
i need to be able to run current games on ultra at 1920 x 1080
i need a 120 gb + ssd for boot and at least 1tb hdd for storage
i need to be able to upgrade to sli/crossfire in the future

i'm flexible on budget but don't go nuts

Thanks

A budget of some sorts would be good.

MSI 780 would be ideal for your 3 monitor setup. Do you have the monitors, KB, Mouse & OS?
1000w PSU gives you the flexibility for 780 in SLI
Carbide 540 is a stunning case and WC ready if you decided to attempt it later on
SP120's are to replace the stock fans on the H100, the other 4 are for the case
Fan controller is really needed too with so many (4-5) case fans.

Thanks for the replay
i probably should have been more specific about budget and os

in the build you dint need to include the os monitors or keyboard and mouse

and for the budget £800-1100
Sorry for any confusion
