Hey, was referred to this site as the goto place for everything computer related by a friend. Hopefully I can get some advice, because I have zero clue what I'm doing minus the research I've tried doing myself.
I am trying to build a computer that can run 5x1 screens in portrait mode. Final resolution will be 2048x5400 (11 million pixels). Basically I need a computer that can run one and a quarter 4k screens. I've read the guide here on motherboard selections, And looked at a lot of rigs others have built, but I am completely lost as far as trying to future-proof the computer.
Granted, I know any computer will be obsolete after 2 years, but my goal is to spend $200 or less per month to upgrade one part at a time. Primary usage will be EVE Online, Skyrim for now. Monitors alone is going to cost me deeply, but for now I am primarily looking for a motherboard that will last a good 3, maybe 4 years. I do know I have to use Radeon graphics cards (probably 2, but I could do 3...just I've read it suffers from diminishing returns). So if someone could help me out with a motherboard and a decent i7 processor, I would greatly appreciate it. I have an EATX case already, 3 220mm water cooled ready, and a 1100 power supply.
