They don't need to be huge monitors, just moderate size but decent quality. Thought I saw some decent sales a couple weeks ago where the monitors were like ,300-500 - which should fit nicely into a decent build, right?

Consider a PLP set up

AMD gpu's would be the best option when it comes to multi monitor gaming.

It depends what you are trying to do.
Are you going for 4k, 1440p or 1080p?

Do you want G-Sync?

What are the advantages/main points of all those? (Sorry I've never paid much attention to my monitor and certainly haven't had a dual/tri build before)

Honestly a lot of people typically do 2 monitors, there main gaming one and then a spare. 1440p is quad hd which is better than 1080p but not as nice as 4k. However 4k doesnt support over 60hz currently so the refresh rates will suffer.
You could just do the Acer Predator X34 which is 34" wide screen and a spare, or a 27" like me and a spare. Otherwise 3 monitors is nice, but im not a fan.

I currently only use one monitor 27" IPS 1440p 165HZ ASUS, absolutely love it.

Its for both gaming and research/school work (so I figured tri monitor would be realllly nice :D )
Would you 100% recommend dual > tri?

I also kind of want to feel immersed when playing FO4 and other games :)
