Multi-Monitor Setup For My Build

NinjaZ · Dec 28, 2014

HI, I have built a really nice gaming rig setup:

NVIDIA® GTX TITAN Z GPU
Intel® Core™ i7 4790K Devils Canyon CPU
1866MHz 2x8GB (16GB) G Skill Ripjawz
Asus® Z97I Plus Mother Board
2 x Crucial® M550 SSD 512 GB in RAID 0
and etc....

I am looking for a Multi-Monitor setup (2-3 monitors). 1 for gaming purposes and the other for videos and web surfing.

I will only be using 1 Monitor for gaming and the other for web browsing and such. I am not really looking to Play a single game on 2 or 3 monitors combined. I just want to get the most bang for my buck. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

A pair of these Asus' would be great. They are IPS, with a resolution of 1920 x 1080.

Most people set up 3 monitors so they can game on all 3 without a split down the middle.

For 2 monitors, I'd get a 27in 1440p (eg http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-monitor-pb278q) for the main/gaming

and a 24in 1080p (eg http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-monitor-ve248h) for the other.

What kind of fps could i expect for high performance gaming with those?

NinjaZ · Dec 28, 2014

Yeah I am just looking to use 1 monitor for gaming and another for homework/browsing/and watching movies. However on my gaming monitor I would expect to get high frame rates if possible.

The Titan will ensure you get high fps.

NinjaZ · Dec 29, 2014

What about 144Hz monitors? Would those be a waste since I have the Titan?

i7Baby · Dec 29, 2014

Depends on your budget. Depends on the games you're playing too.

And what fps you want.

NinjaZ · Dec 29, 2014

I have a budget of about $400 max per monitor. I just don't want to skimp since I ran into some money lately, and wanna get a super setup that will last me for awhile without needing to upgrade.

Basically, it depends....

@i7Baby -The Asus VG248QE looks like a good bet from that review, however do you think that it would be a better replacement for the 27" display? I'm not really looking for a huge monitor display I could honestly be happy with a 24 inch and 20-22 inch monitor for my rig. I would just like to get over 100 FPS on games like BF4 and other games with the monitor I use for gaming and the other I don't really care too much about as long as it has solid picture for movies, browser games, web surfing, and etc.

i7Baby · Dec 29, 2014

Yes - it'd be a good monitor. Maybe then the smaller one you should be an IPS screen eg http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-monitor-mx239h

I don't like the look of that monitor personally, I was looking at it earlier. what do you think about the ASUS VS239H-P 23-Inch Full-HD LED IPS Monitor?

i7Baby · Dec 29, 2014

Yeah - that'd be OK too.
