Hey guys, I've decided to invest in a new setup. What i want is ideally x3 27" monitors that have slim profile. MB, RAM, CPU SSD with 256gb storage. and a PSU that can handle adding a second 780ti at some point in the near future.

I have the Antec 902 case which I'm happy with and picked up a msi 780ti from MM this evening.

Price i can work within 1500 quid inc monitors.

Thanks for looking.
 
Build slightly over budget. Smaller monitors but all running 144hz and slightly better SSD

Under budget with slim bezel monitors. might free up enough cash for a 2nd 780ti on the MM

Would you go for 24s instead of 27? The reason i was thinking 27 is that i would have the ps4 on 1 of the monitors a lot of the time.
 
Thanks for the input guys, I've went for bundle ssd and hdd with a few other bits. Still not sure which way to go monitor wise.
 
What will be the purpose of the monitors?
You say your PS4 on one the majority of the time, so will you be using all 3 at once?

A super widescreen would be a recommendation from me eliminates all bezels, and they look great in everything however no 144mhz version AFAIK.

Just thinking as you mentioned one screen being used by your PS4 and 2 can't be used for PC gaming really. I'd recommend 24" over 27" as they'll be sharper.
 
Ay, So i guess in my mind 1 would be for pc gaming, the other for desktop use and the 3rd for console but with the ability to use the nivdia surround for offline games.
 
Hey guys, recieved the order and built the system last nite. Installed windows 7 and installed all the motherboard drivers. However when i go to install the Nvidia driver it gives me an error saying no it can't find a compatible device. I've tried to reseat the gfx card (780ti) and even putting it in a diffrent socket with the same result. Any ideas?
 
Some basic stuff;

Both power cables in to the graphics card?
Cables connected PSU side? In the modular interface if you went for a modular PSU?
 
Ya, tried using different power pciE cables from a different socket with same results. When I unplug them and try with just 1 cable instead of the two required it dip jays an error saying please connect power to gpu I feel it's a software issue.
 
Disabled the onboard gfx via BIOS then uninstalled all drivers and reinstalled everything. This seemed to fix it. Thanks for the input folks.
