Gaming pc help

[pizzaisgood9897]

I am wanting to do a 3 monitor setup for my pc. I want to only game on 1 monitor and have the others for anything. I want a build that could suffice that. My budget is 1500$.
I do not need
Os
Monitor
Keyboard or anything
Thanks

You don't need to spend so much to game at 1080p on ultra on a single monitor with two non-gaming monitors. This build should be plenty. If you don't plan to overclock then get a cheaper non-K i5 chip like the i5 4460 or similar and a H97 motherboard without the Cooler Master Hyper Evo 212.

The power supply and motherboard will allow you to add another GTX 970 in the future if you ever decide to game on multiple screeens or go 4K but if you're certain this won't ever be needed then you can get a cheaper, smaller PSU like the XFX Core or TS 550W

If you're going to stream then swap out the i5 4690K for an i7 4790K. Otherwise, there's no reason that build won't work well.
