Monitors for nVidia surround?

Hey guys, I'm interested in going for an nvidia surround setup.
I currently have a ACER GD245HD, but the bezel is roughly an inch think + not many places are selling my monitor anymore and the few places that do have high prices. So I was thinking of selling my monitor and getting 3 x 1920 x 1080 or 1680 x 1050 monitors.

Powering the monitors would be an overclocked i7 960 based system with 2 heavily overclocked GTX570's

So two questions really

1)What monitors would you recommend with slim bezels?

2)Is my system powerful enough for NV surround on modern games?

Budget for monitors is roughly £600.

Thanks for any input :)
 
With £600, you vould get two monitors as most of them are around £300.
I would definitely invest in 1920x1080.
Your system will easily handle it.

I believe LG make the slimmest bezels but they are ridiculous prices
 
As Cleeecooo has pointed out your budget falls slightly short if you want 1080p monitors. Why don't you just get another two of the Acers?

EDIT: Just found the Acers on sale for £227.98 Inc VAT at a well known competitor. If you do a google shopping search for ACER GD245HQ you'll soon find it ;)

Oh yeah, thats a good price, shame the bezels are alittle chunky, they may have to do though as I can't really go over my budget. Thanks for your replies guys.
 
3 of these http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-095-LG&groupid=17&catid=1425&subcat= and displayport adaptor cost under £600,led low power draw and heat and looks like this

I have 3 benq's led and there great monitors and less than 200 each are a bargon but the only problem you will have is the very low vram on you 570's at that res trust me i know as i have the 470's and you have to lower the IQ a lot for it to run amooth and just looks like crap whish is annoying as you would exwpect two of there second best single gpu's to work well so take this into account befor you go and buy three monitors as even when it does work on some games personally i think the extra screen isnt all its cracked up to be so i would surrgest going to go it and use it before buyin just my 2 cents ani think its a lot better having the high IQ on one screen (the main one you look at) as the reat just ssems a waste as you dont really look at it, only time it is use full is say in cod online when some one pops in the side of screen and even then you just move the mouse to look at him so you still dont look at the extra screen
