So i know this question have been asked alot and there are alot of difference opinions.

So i want screens with very thin bezels so that the border in midle wont annoy me.

Im looking at size 24" or 27" and i want them to be ips i can go normal if you think the screens are worth it.

Atm i have 1 asus 27" screen i dont want to waste that now because it is a really good screen so i will use it for now.

So would it be able to run my 27" one in midle and then 2 24" screens on the side?

of course i think it would be better if all the screens was 24" or 27" but im not sure or i should be able to fit them 3x27" screens on my desk because the side ones will be angled my desk atm is 160 cm long so it sould be enough.

and the screens needs to be 1080p or maybe 1440p depends.

i will be running this setup with a gigabyte 7970 and will buy a r9-280x i will xfire. rest of my spec is in my sig.

But most important right now what i think is the thin bezels and opionions on the 27" midle and 24" sides what you think?

Eyefinity on the 280x requires DisplayPort on at least one of the monitors (confusingly, this only seems to apply in Windows - hopefully AMD will one day fix this in a driver update, the card is hardware capable of running three identical monitors over DVI/HDMI as long as they have the same resolution and refresh rate), I assume this is the same for the 7970. Personally, I'd recommend getting three of the same size monitor because having a different sized screen would surely get annoying for gaming quite quickly. A few years ago I managed to get a pair of HP 2311x monitors for under $150 each and they work excellently in a multi-monitor setup. If you can still get hold of some and an active DP-DVI adapter, I would seriously recommend these monitors.

i think that no matter what card you use 1 of the 3 screens always needs to be connected with a display port or thats what i heard.

yea i did guess 3 screens of same size would be better as i said.

so then i will most likley get 2 new 27" screens because my main one atm is one and then later change that to the same as the other 2 i buy.
