Awesome guys, might try push the budget out a bit!

Wont be buying this till May time, just wanted to put the feelers out to start getting back into the loop :) Is there any major tech coming out between now and then which would change the spec?

And ill come to you Ethermaster when its time then eh? :p

ASUS have a 27", 1440p, 144hz, G-Sync monitor that should be with us by May - the perfect storm of monitor features. You'll need an Nvidia card to make use of G-Sync.

Any news on price yet?

And from reading Nvidia cards run cooler and quieter than AMD, which is something I think is important :)

Would a set up with 2 of those monitors and 2 Nvidia cards come in at under 2k?

But then I imagine it would ruin the red/black colour scheme?

I seem to remember Gibbo hinting at £550-600 for the price. Not cheap, so two of them? No. But then I don't see the point of getting two gaming monitors anyway. One or three - otherwise you'll just be staring at the bezel all day.

Lee's build above with two MSI 780 Gamings minus the monitors and unnecessary fans comes in at around £1500. And the colour scheme is maintained.
 
Yer, I blew the budget too...

Hmmm so much choice, are 780's the nvidia card to get for this budget at the moment?

This has been great to get me up to date guys! Ill be reading over the next month and will come back once I have a final budget :)

Really would like a multi monitor set up, opinions on 1x27" vs 3x24"?

So maxing out the 2k budget with 3x24 or spending 1500ish with 1 27" with the view to grow to 3?
 
Yup, a couple of 780s makes sense at the budget.

Personally, I'd much rather have one 27" 1440p 144hz G-Sync monitor than three 24" 1080p ones. But if you really want more than one monitor, three 24" ones make sense. Three of those ASUS ones would get very expensive, and I'm not actually sure how two 780s would cope with three 1440p screens.

Fortunately, you've got a month or two to decide. That means you can wait for reviews of G-Sync monitors are available so you can make a more informed decision.
