well that 3080 will be a total waste of money on those monitors as its intended for 144Hz 4k or something like a samsung G9, really at the size you're talking about you're looking at 1440p which at max would use a 3070 Ti, so if you can give us the link for the above and let us know the budget for the pc, and the budget for the monitor, then we should be able to sort you, and that build needs some work on it

I've already ordered that pc, I was looking for new monitors to get that wouldn't be a waste with it. Don't really have a budget for the monitors as I'm not in desperate need so I can save for them but the pc was around £2700 if that helps for the work the build needs, I also wouldn't mind spending a little more to correct or make the build better.

We'd need a max budget, a suitable monitor will run from a minimum of £750 up to £2500 so we need to know what your max is.

Any of the glaring issues with this build that you could point out so I could change would be amazing as its currently in pre-production and i don't want to mess around with the build to much more and delay it or cause issues.

Can I ask why 2 monitors? That wouldn't be used for a gaming configuration as the center image would be between the 2 monitors. It's either 1 or 3.

A superwide would be the best option I think if you're looking for dual monitors one left at Amazon discounted to £1100:

Samsung Odyssey G9 Curved Gaming Monitor, 49 Inch, 240hz, 1000R, 1ms, 1440p, Black White: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

Buy

I've always run 2 monitors never really thought about 3, the only issue would be I would have to cut my budget down a bit more if I were to buy 3 instead of 2.

So as above the Superwide is the middle ground.

It's 2 x 1440p monitors but as one monitor.

It's the ultimate gaming experience. You can use it as 2 separate screens if you wanted, it's very flexible.

Seems like it, now I just need to fix the problems Martin saw with my build.

and to make that easier we need the configuration link, you need to up the motherboard to a 570, and could do with some work around the storage as well, could also do with a better case and you can scrap the arctic paste, wi-fi card also needs upgrading

Is this the link you would need?
