Hello everyone! I am looking for the best 3 monitor set-up, for my PC. I have found 3 monitors that look like they would do well together, but I want your suggestions and input on the setup.

Monitor 1: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UPVXDA8/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=67E7ACF28EI6&coliid=I2TA2GCNS0ZNWS&psc=1
Monitor 2: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B016GNX4SE/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=67E7ACF28EI6&coliid=IDI6IP6CGQ5E3
Monitor 3: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UPVXDA8/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=67E7ACF28EI6&coliid=I2TA2GCNS0ZNWS&psc=1

I picked two 144Hz monitors for the right and left side of me, and a ultra-wide curved 34" monitor for the main screen (for gaming, etc.) I want to know if this is a good setup in regards to monitors, or if there are better monitors that I could switch out for.

Yep, that will work fine.
You might still need to shutdown those two monitors depending on the game.
There are plenty that won't hit 60fps at 4k with 2x 980ti's.

Splendid
Double check if you can run different refresh rates on different monitors. Not sure games support this.
Also... I think your'e under estimating just how demanding high resolution, high refresh rates are.
With the newest games, a 980ti won't be able to get 144hz on a single 1440 monitor.
On GTA V for example, you're looking at under 60fps with a 980ti at 1440. Under 30fps for a single 4k monitor.
You'll either have to drop the settings significantly, or run 4x 980ti's.

Apart from that, it's a monster system.

The 144Hz monitors will not be used for gaming, only the Acer Predator will be. So, when I'm playing the video games, I may have OBS open on the left monitor and chrome open on the right. I won't be using all 3 screens for one game.

Indeed. But I don't believe the Acer Predator UltraWide Curved 34" monitor is 4K UHD...right?
It's only a 1440p monitor, so the two 980ti's will do quite fine.
