I am buying a custom built gaming PC from Ironside Gaming and I am going to set up a dual monitor setup. But I want to know if I can set it up so that I can have a dual monitor setup, and then the second monitor can have some way to switch over to my console since I am mainly a console gamer. And if that is possible then is there something else that can let me hook up two consoles to the same monitor and switch between the two, without having to unplug and plug back in cords?

It just depends on the inputs. Your PC will probably use either DisplayPort or DVI, and your consoles will use hdmi. So you need a monitor has 2 hdmi inputs. Also you'll need someway to get the sound out, so you'll probably want a monitor with speakers.
