Yeah I understand the budget is limited, but for $400, you can get a single R9-390X, or a single GTX 980 - both of which will handle triple 1080 without breaking a sweat, and both will perform better than dual GTX 960. Sure a 980TI is more than adequate, but dual 960 is not a good idea, IMO. Even on $1400 you can squeeze in an i5 and a 980, possible 980TI.

If you've got a tight budget I would suggest:

So if I increased my budget should I get 980ti or 970? Also is that build good for video editing,rendering and also making gaming vids? Cuz I hear the 6700k is amazing for it.

Video Card:It can be, 3 x 1080p is 6 million pixels per frame. So, a single 980 Ti should be fine and later you can sli them, still a 980 Ti will do well but you need a good power supply to run a single, i already made the change up there. That should be fine. SLI: (900W minimum system requirement).

Processor: Since your budget is limited, so i went for devil canyon and it will do your job pretty well. Yes, skylake 6700k performs better than canyon, will increase your performance (2-3%). So, you have to get a LGA 1151 socket motherboard and it only supports DDR4 memory which will take your overall amount a way higher than your current one. If you feel no hesitate to flex your overall then Skylake for sure.

Well you can definitely ditch the thermal compound, all the case fans, and the fan controller - these things are simply not needed. You also have two mice for some reason. And there's no way I would trust $2K worth of equipment to a Corsair CX 750 - that is an absolute no no. Don't get the aforementioned Supernova Nex either - that's also a terrible power supply. And I also would veto the dual 960s - you can get a single 980 for that, or better a 980TI.

This is what you should do for this kind of money:

That is a much wiser use of $2K. Then you can add whatever OS, monitors, keyboard and mouse you want.

Actually sir,
He already made a decision getting Triple 1080p monitor (which i can't do nothing with it, that's his personal choice) and he asked, if something needs for improvement within $2000. Within such tight budget in overall, i went with dual 960's (as he don't care about settings when gaming, as he stated) but still, it will do much better than a single 970 in 3x1080p monitor. Then, i made it to devil canyon over skylake to get things under budget. Changed that low quality power supply to reliable one. Later, he was asking for more improvement if he add's more money. Among his options, i choose a 980 Ti over 960's.
So, my question is why would you reject this option (dual 960's.). May i know if some is in limited budget if a person on such limited budget

With OS license, $1402. Gives you the rest of the budget to add some much better monitors than low end AOCs.

What if we did a 4k build for 1500$ and I get the three 1080p monitors? Would this be able to handle the monitors good? If we were to do this I'll have plenty of room for the peripherals

I'm not sure I understand the question here. Do you want a build that will handle 4K resolutions or do you want a build that will handle 3 1080P displays? If so the build I previously recommended will handle 3 1080Ps without breaking a sweat (or you could also go ultra wide 1080P for the price of the 3 displays), and will give you plenty of money for monitors and keyboard and mouse and includes an OS license. 4K is an entirely different beast altogether.
