Hi please help, I'm looking to build a triple screen gaming pc for racing sims and of course FPS. I know nothing about pc gaming. I have a 360 no hdmi, on a 720p LCD tv.. I'm looking to be able to have a mid end gaming set up. I have a ps4 on preorder but have decided that perhaps that money along with a lump I was saving for a new home pc would combine to give me a great pc gaming experience. I'm guessing my total build cost all in including monitors would be £1500.00 but that's including peripherals, wheel mouse keyboard monitors x3 so it's not as much as it might sound. Please rember I'm a super noob I know nothing about how a pc even goes together let alone the difference between intel and amd. Can could anyone copy and paste existing pc s available at the moment off the shelp that are capable of triple screen high'ish resolution 120fps? For irace steam and bf4 type gaming not super machines just something more than the next gen can offer? Like I said many thanks for your help in advance.
Pleas help a total noob make a gaming pc from scratch pleeeeese

The asus vs248h-p is a pretty popular monitor for multi-monitor setups (around 150£ on Amazon)
That would leave you with around 1050£.
Some thoughts and questions:
8GB ram should be enough, unless you plan some work with videos?
What form-factor (size) do you prefer?
Do you know a local PC store? Helps finding [strike]a good-looking case[/strike](forgot you look for prebuild), a mouse (bought 4 gaming mice
before I found the right 1) and a keyboard (IMHO a mouse is more important than keyboard...)
Do you really need 3 Monitors??? Because the budget is not that high for 3 monitors+peripherals. And 120fps only make sense on 120hz monitors... 60 is enough

If you're going to play games across multiple displays you want one monitor or three, two isn't going to cut it.
On the OP's budget I would do this:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

That gives you £400 to add whatever monitors you want.
