I am thinking of setting up three monitors for gaming.
I am currently running Far Cry3 on the set up below at 1920 x1080 with all game settings at maximum, the current settings on the CPU & GPU are not overclocked (yet).
I have two questions:-
1, As all my gaming is FPS is this a good idea?
2, Obviously for continuity I will have to purchase two displays of the same type and specification, will my system cope?

Asus AMD Radeon R9 280X 3GB PCI-Express 3.0 HDMI
Corsair CX750 Builder Series CX 750W ATX/EPS 80 PLUS Bronze PSU
Samsung 24x SH-224DB DVD-RW SATA OEM
Corsair Hydro Series H60 2013 High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler
WD 1TB Blue SATA 6GB/s 7200RPM 64MB 3.5" Hard Drive
Corsair CC-9011049-WW Obsidian Series 450D Windowed Mid-Tower ATX High Airflow Performance Computer Case
Asus VG248QE 24-inch 3D LED Monitor - Black (1920x1080, 80000000:1, 144 Hz, 1ms, DVI Display Port, HDMI)
ASUS Z97-K - motherboard - ATX - LGA1150 Socket - Z97
Intel Core i5-4690K S1150 3.5GHz 6MB Devils Canyon with Heat Sink Fan Quad Core Processor Unlocked
Corsair 8GB (2 x 4GB) Vengeance Pro Black DDR3 1866MHz CL9 Memory

1) Does it matter? Triple Monitors is awesome, and I doubt you will be disappointed. Maybe once you have triple monitors you might branch out and play racing games, MMOs, or other games too. Who knows?

2) Your setup is able to play games at 3x 1920x1080... but you might notice a drop in frames per second. Maybe consider tuning down your graphics settings in some games to get better framerates.

You can find plenty of questions about triple monitor gaming here on Tom's too, if you have any extra thoughts.

Hope this helps.
