I bought a prebuilt PC at first and have modified it but now my girlfriend want's a really nice completely built from the grounds up PC for gaming. And I'm just not sure what parts I should go with, I'm normally fairly smart with this but I normally just completely edit parts in PCs and such.

So recommend me some amazing parts that go well together. There's no price limit, she does want the new GTX 1080 as well as she wants to run like three monitors? So I'm thinking two of those graphic cards, probably an 850 power supply? I'm really not sure so throw some suggestions and help a bro out here.

Thank you very much!

GTX1080 is a very powerful card. One will be enough to run 3 monitors. This is the kind of build you should be looking for. This should be able to handle most games on ultra settings.

Thats a serious gaming rig. Probably 1 1080 for the 3 monitor. Are they ultrawide or just normal. 1440p or 4k. Get an SSD for the O.S and a 2TB HD fromWD for games. An 750 watt would be just fine for a 1080 but a 850 would be better for 2 1080. Get NZXT s340 elite for case (best case) or spec alpha (corsair).

She wants a monitor in the middle probably a normal one with 4k res? And then she'll want a vertical monitor on each side. What are some other parts we need. What kind of mother board would be perfect for this? And is Ripjaw ram good?
