Hi guys,

So basically, I'm looking forward to running a 3 monitor desktop. I will be using it for a lot of visual editing. I would like to know which graphics card you guys would recommend me. Also, when does a pc require a water cooling system? Should I worry about that with 3 monitors? Any advice would be appreciated!

Thank you in advance guys!

Which monitors, what maximum resolution?
if your are going to be using 1080 screens then just about any video card 750ti or better will handle 3 monitors.
If you are planning 3 x 4k screens you will want more horsepower. the 750ti for example can handle 4 displays.

water cooling is required for extremely high TDP Chips, the fx 9590 which is a 220Watt chip as an example, or heavy overclocking.

I doubt that a water cooler will be required just to run three screens.
I have been a dual screen user since 2001. they have been multi screen support for a while ultimately the limiting factors will be the resolution of the screens.
