What is the purpose of this? If you are trying to game, nothing will give you good settings or frames.

That's correct, not even the Titan Z or the 295x2 has that kind of power.

The minimum you would want for a single GPU setup is the EVGA GTX TITAN BLACK http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IEV313U. Anything less will not give you the desired results you are looking for.

You will want a bare minimum of 4GB VRAM. It looks like you can grab a new TITAN Black for around $960 if you hurry. I'm sure it won't be there long.

The titan black wont, you would need something like Xfire 295x2s to get 60 fps on a SINGLE monitor.

We have a saying in my language which translates into English roughly like that "Easily won money are easy to spend". I know you are all hyped up and all but don't waste your money like that. There are probably tens of thousands of better things to do with the money you've won than to spend insane amount on what it is just an entertaining machine. If you keep ordering the top of the line hardware every time something new gets released you will have to be winning these type of giveaways every year. Just saying...

Jeeeezzzzeee... 50 inch tv's all at 4k? Unless you're a multimillionaire (or even if you are), that is a HUGE waste of money. 4K itself is just ridiculous... but 3 50inch 4k tv's? Cmon...

Give the money you would spend on all this to charity (or just save it for a rainy day). It will make you feel better. Then invest the rest to make more money.

I would recommend not, pretty much pick a portion of the request and roll with that.
One 4k monitor, one 50" monitor, or 3 1080p monitors.

3 50" 4k monitors would be such overkill, and so hard to run it would be impossible.
It takes 295x2 xfire or SLI Titan-Z to run close to 60FPS on a SINGLE 4k monitor.

The card doesn't need to be the titan z by nvidia it just needs to run 4k 50 inch monitors x3 whether it's one or dual cards I know I have enough money for tha best but really I'm investing most of it my 50 inch tv's I'm buying are only 600 dollars each brand new look up TCL 4k 50 on Amazon TCL Is a Chinese tv manufacturer so there tv are cheaper then LG Samsung and Sony by a ton.

If you want to run 4k, you need the best graphics.

Quad SLI Titan Blacks/ SLI titan-Zs (same thing really)
Though you requested no AMD, Xfire 295x2s would be preferable.

Note this is for a single monitor http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/amd_radeon_r9_295x...

Hello,

well I think that the biggest issue here comes from the 4K resolution of those TVs. If you insist on a 3 display setup then I think you should at least reduce it to 1440p which should be far less taxing on the GPUs.

Here you can visualize better how much less the 1440 p is than the 4K.


Having said that even when lowering the resolution of the displays it is still very demanding on the hardware. In this video you can see 3 x 1440 p monitors being fed by 3 x GTX 780 Ti. Even though in this particular case they wanted to take advantage of the new G-Sync technology they had to run the 3 GPUs and have each monitor connected to 1 card individually.

I think no matter how well a 3 display setup is done it's still rather gimmicky to me. I would prefer having a single hi-res and hi-quality display than having to play with bezel corrections and what not. Also if you watched the whole video you would have noticed that not all games are optimized for 3 screen setup.

I guess what I am trying to say is - get a nice hi-res monitor with some nice GPU and CPU. Play a few games and if you think you really want to go 3 screen then you can always add another GPU and buy 2 extra displays. Just trying to save you from splashing huge amount of money on something that may not be that amazing anyway.

But of course it is all up to you :)

@Mouldread

Exactly.
Just because you have got a ton of money doesn't mean you should while it all away on some setup people will find ridiculously overkill, and no matter which or how many cards you put in your system, you will not get the performance that is the first thing people demand on high end hardware.
Trust me.
It's saddening to see you have invested a ton in your new computer and it's still lagging. In countries where people don't have a lot of money, they buy PCs and find out their brand new PC is already outdated because someone sold them 3 year old parts to cut costs. You're lucky not to be in that category.

That said, here is my proposed build:

There's only one Titan Black in there, but you can add 2 more if you wanted to.
Also, the 4770k is a little overkill for gaming, but since you're willing to spend money, it should futureproof your system a bit.
