I've got a little money burning a hole in my pocket and need to scratch the upgrade itch. With Zen fast approaching and a new GPU batch right around the corner I have landed on a new monitor for this upgrade.

I'm kind of torn though...Right now I'm leaning toward this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824106002

But kinda had the thought of getting three 22"-26" monitors to play with a little Eyefinity. Haven't ever toyed around with Eyefinity, so was looking for advice on which would be a better setup for gaming. This rig is almost exclusively used for gaming, productivity is done at the office. :D

So, there's the question...single curved ultra wide, or smaller eyefinity array? What would you guys suggest? Also, Monitor suggestions for either option?
 
I'd take an ultra-wide over eyefinity any day.
 
As someone whos had both, ultrawide and a secondary monitor is the way to go
 
I'll keep my 27" LG as my 2nd. So it seems unanimous with the ultra wide. Thanks for the assistance. It looks like I'll order the Acer.
 
Yeah take Ultra Wide, Eyefinity/Surround has that ugly bezels and other problems linked with it.
 
It has arrived. Unboxing pics coming soon. :rockout:
