Hey guys, wondering if some people wanna give me some advice on a triple monitor setup. Im planning on running a MSI Gaming Edition GTX 780 3GB with a Intel i7-4790k and 16GB RAM for a new gaming/software development PC. For my monitors, I want to run 3 in a typical side by side setup with the 2 on the end curved inwards. Im looking to spend about 200 per moniter, but ill dip over that if its a steal or a really good value. With this setup, im looking to game on all 3 (5760x1080) most likely. This will only be fore a few games like maybe skyrim on med settings or racing/simulation games. for the most part ill be gaming on a single monitor. One requirement I have is bezel width. I want the black space in between the monitors to be very thin. Another key factor im looking into is whether or not a 60hz monitor is good for me with what im planning to do. A good brand ive been seeing is ASUS or maybe even a samsung. Btw, im looking between 22-25 inchs. And i live in Canada as well.

TL:DR;

Triple monitor setup
Running on a GTX 780
$200~ per
some games i want to run on all 3 at once but not all of them and probably not at max settings
60Hz good enough?
Bezel width.
Live in Canada

Here are some options I came up with:

ASUS VN248h-p: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236335
ASUS VN247h-p: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236307
ASUS MX239h: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236310&cm_re=mx239h-_-24-236-310-_-Product

I really like the 239h, the bezel seems almost non-existent. bit out of my price range, so probably only if they go on sale.

this is literally THE PERFECT MONITOR. looks DEADLY, 1ms response time, 144Hz, small bezels and 27inch. too bad it costs more for 1 of these than my budget for all 3 monitors

Dell:

Pricing might be steep but awesome monitors. Tiny bezel, IPS, etc.

Yeah I did have that exact monitor in mind, price is a little high but the main issue I had with it was the 8ms response time. Im looking for 5ms or under. Other than that, its perfect really.

I dont think the 8ms response time will be much of an issue, and thats kind of what you will get with good IPS panel.
