Hello,

I'm currently in the process of buying a pc with 1200 being my limit...What sort of spec could i get? I'm looking to have a triple monitor setup.

Thanks

If you bought three 200 quid monitors it's going to hurt your budget quite a lot.

What do you want the computer for? 1200 on the base unit will put together a highish spec gaming computer with a few peripherals, a single cpu workstation or a very nice htpc.

I've heard rumors that Eyefinity is kinda buggy because of the primitive drivers and it will take a little longer before its fully optimized.I for one don't believe this but one of my friends was using Eyefinity and he got a lot of screen flikering in some apps and games and sometimes the third or second monitor weren't recognized properly.I will be using Eyefinity myself but I'll wait another 3-4 months for the drivers to become fully optimized.

Why not sell your current 2 and buy 50" 1080p plasma or lcd instead ? ; ).
Just a suggestion if you want big screen. 3 screen eyefinitey might require sort of 5970 power which won't fit in your budget.
