Hi I have a budget of £4500 and would like a triple monitor gaming setup that can play anything on max setting, from what I've read online this isn't possible at 4k?

Can someone please point me in the right direction with a build and what monitors to go for and I would like the pc water cooled on a loop if that's possible at that price?
 
Running even 3840x2160 at high refresh rates is impossible in heavier games without cutting settings.
Doubled amount of pixels from two monitors would be even more so.
Already 2x 2560x1440 isn't that much behind one 3840x2160 in GPU load. (7.4 million pixels vs 8.3)

Multi-GPU isn't any solution to that, because it's been drifting dead on water for many many years.
GPU makers simply were tiring of having to do driver tweaks for every game.
And then DirectX12 made it job of game developers to get performance out from multiple GPUs.

And before buying any expensive graphics cards it would best to wait untill next-gen GPUs are out.
Nvidia's high end card pricing is at rape and robbery level.
2080 Ti is only 35-40% faster than Radeon 5700 XT, while costing toward 200% more.
And because of people just keeping asking more butt-syncing, Nvidia's next-gen prices might be even crazier if releasing before AMD.


At any of those resolutions GPU will be primary bottleneck without major cutting of graphics settings.
But Ryzen 3900X would handle background tasks like web browsers, possible team chats etc without problems.
Also in couple years could change CPU to Zen3.
 
Ok have you any idea on what I could achieve with a triple monitor setup? 27" monitors? Can you point me in the right direction with a good build and what monitors to go for?
 
Ok lets say I have a balanced build with an rtx 2080 ti am I looking at triple 1920x1080 at max settings? Triple 2560x1440 at high settings?

Pretty much so for 1080p, every game ive tried with my 2080ti on triples, ive been able run at max settings @ 1920x1080 60fps, cant test any higher as i only have 3 1080p monitors

A 3 x 1080p would be the best option for max settings. It is still pretty demanding, but less than a single 4K monitor. If you went with 3 x 1440p screens then you are pushing over 11 Million Pixels. A single 4K is 8.29MP.

Have you considered a single SuperWide monitor ?

The one below isn't perfect, but it is equivalent to 2 x 27" 1440p monitors.

Rather than triple monitors, which are a complete faff, go for a mega-wide 32:9 monitor like the Samsung @lee32uk suggests.

I have triple monitors in a different sense: I have a high refresh 4K monitor, a high refresh 3440x1440, and an ordinary 4k monitor, on which I am typing this. I run different games on different monitors.
 
That's the trouble I do need more than one monitor as I play xbox as well, I use two 32" 4k monitors now

Then have the 32" monitor as well. Modern GPUs can cope with 3-4 monitors. You will get a vastly improved play experience with a single monitor over a triple monitor setup. And it's two cables rather than 6.
