That video card is way underpowered for 3 monitor gaming. It will handle 1 monitor at decent FPS for a lot of games, nevermind 3. IF you want 3 monitor gaming, be prepared to spend a lot of money on the GPU side of things.

Well the only options it gives me for graphics card wise (Can't even seem to add an extra card for some reason) are these options...

Chillblast NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 2GB Graphics Card
Asus GeForce GTX 760 2048MB DirectCU II Edition Video Card
Chillblast NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 2GB Graphics Card
Chillblast NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 3GB Graphics Card
I'm tempted to go for the last one...

The 780 can start to handle triple monitor gaming, some games better than others, but you should be mostly ultra or high graphics and 30+ fps with a card like that.

Why are you going prebuilt though, you're paying a lot more for them to put it together and you're stuck with their parts. Like a 780ti is where you start to get into good triple monitor gaming.

getochkn :

I agree with getochkn, the high end pre-built machines are going to cost allot more than one you built your self. These companies make most of their money off the high-end machines. I would recommend that you build a machine yourself or at least pay someone you know to do it. Both options are much cheaper.

Just read it as PC Advisers top buy recommendation, but as a base unit surely I'll be able to add extra stuff in it though right? Or will I have to buy specific chillblast hardware for it?

Ninja-Pizza :

No, it will be a normal PC but it comes with the trademarks of a pre-buit. For example, the included PSU is junk. If you want to add a more powerful graphics card, which you will need, you're going to need a better PSU. The HDD is also unbranded which means it will be bottom of the barrel. It's also overpriced but they do have to make their cut. Buying a pre-built usually adds 20% to the price.
