2 work monitors and 1 gaming

[Jaymie Jeffrey]

Hey all. I'm hoping someone can help me. I want to change my current monitor setup. Currently I have a 34" ultra wide-screen IPS monitor, but its on its way out.

I would like to change it now for 3 monitors, preferably all the same size. I'm thinking of the middle monitor for gaming and the outer monitors for work. I'm unsure what to get though. I would also like all three to be on monitor arms.

My pc is not bad, currently running 1080ti, 24gb memory with Intel i7-8700k. I was hoping that someone can give me some advice on what to get. Ideally for less than £1k, but can stretch if necessary.

Cheers

Well; I was thinking of not using an ultrawide. I am a programmer by trade and an ultrawide was fine for work, but not for gaming. Ideally, I thought, that having the gaming monitor in the middle and the work monitors on the outside, that would allow me to have the best of both worlds. I could extend games (like wow) onto all three monitors or games like dota2 could just be on the middle monitor. For work, I can have one screen for programming, one for looking at my application and the other for fun

The reason I want three is because my work will buy the two work monitors and I can purchase the gaming monitor

My desk area is 1.5m wide but I want to use monitor arms as stated. I think I have enough room to mount them like \_/ which should save me some space. Also, my room is wide enough to accommodate all three in a line. I guess the arms matter.

The games I play most are wow and dota2. I don't really play anything else, but will probably play games like Witcher3, etc. My current monitor is:

But it doesn't have a mounting plate and it's skewed when playing games (like dota) which is why I don't want widescreens anymore.
