I'd personally be inclined to go big rather than triple just because I'm not sure you could get three decent monitors for a total of £500. Either a 32"+ IPS at 4K or an ultrawide at 3440x1440p would be my choice.
 
You should really be looking at one big monitor, £500 split three ways isn't going to cover anything but low-end junk.

Given your graphics card I'd say avoid any 4K models, a 390X just isn't powerful enough to get good frame rates at 4k without sacrificing image quality. A 32" 1440p may be a good choice, nice big screen without needing masses of GPU power.
 
Depends on what games to some extent but R9 390X is generally very capable at 4k. Thats kind of the cards forte. Plus with a big 4K screen you have the option to run a 21:9 aspect.
 
I don't think you can actually do 21:9 with AMD (not native), I've been looking into that for a while now. If you know how to tho, let me know.
 
thanks for the reply guys, i only use my pc for gaming (bf4 + project cars) and surfing the porn sites, im thinking along the lines of a ultrawide 34", is there any to avoid and could anyone recommend one
many thanks for your time
