Hi there, ive recently finished building my new rig, i7 4770k (4.4Ghz OC) 16gb 1666 ram, gtx 770 4gb. I'm really happy with the performance im getting while using 2 screens both being 24inch, ones 1080 while the other is 1050, i use the 1080 for gaming as a normal person would now im considering getting another 24inch to run eyefinity, and was wondering would it be better to get a 27inch for the middle and use the 2x24inch on the sides or would that just look silly, if not that perhaps getting a 1440 27inch and use my 1080 24inch on the side so similar to the setup now but with a 27inch. i just wanted to hear your guys opinion on it. main reasons im looking at 27 is for better gaming, i spend almost the same time watching as i do gaming but when i watch movies im sitting a good 2-3 meters away and when gaming im within 2-3 feet, so im wondering whether its worth getting another 24inch for eyefinity or a 27 inch for movies and gaming.

This is all personal preference but if i was in your shoes this is what i'd do

I'd get the 27" and out in the middle of the two 24" screens (maybe wall mount/raise them) and use them for other tasks while your in game or whatever.

Or get a third 24" and use a nice equal tri display and run games on all three.

oh well that helped a bit. so ive decided that i should get the 27inch, now im wondering whether i should get a 1080 3D screen or a 1440p non 3d screen, any suggestions as to why?

It really depends on what you will be using it for, but if it was me i wouldn't bother with the 3D. To really enjoy the 3D experience you'd have to spend a lot of money on a high performance monitor. Also the 1440p helps a lot for multi-tasking (I have x3 27 1440p IPS 60hz panels)

Well to be honest that card is easily capable of handling games on ultra at 1440p.
