I currently have a triple screen layout using 3 x 27" moniters rated at 60hz. I have a Radeon RX Series 580 Series GPU, AMD Ryzen 71800X Eight Core CPU, VRAM 8192MB and 16Gb RAM. MY question is can I run 3 x 32" moniters rated at 144hz on my current system or do I have to upgrade anything. I'm not particularly computer savvy and as a pensioner I don't have unlimited finances so I'm hoping I can get away with it. Thanks in advance for any assistance
Can anybody advise please

I am by no means a computer guy and started the PC journey in June for myself
when I grew out of the PS4.
From my studies i would think that it depends on the screen resolution,
so if you have 1080p FHD now it would be no problem to drive three 32 1080p monitors.
Depending on your distance to the screens it might not look to good because if you are to close the picture would be pixelated.
1080p 27" monitors at 26" to the eyes are borderline to me, i wouldn´t want them closer or bigger.
1440p monitors would look better closeup, but would need a lot!! more graphics card power.
If you have any to spare you could check with your FPS.
I get 80-110 FPS on my 1080p tripple screens but with a much newer ( and i think more powerfull) graphics card, a 5700XT oc.
Maybe yould check your FPS first, i use NZXT cam for ingame monitoring.

Thanks for that m8, I was rather hoping I would be able to use them as they're in a sale near me and within my budget (just lol). I'm looking at a 590GPU next. Appreciate the assist
Resolution matters for monitors not size when it comes to performance, so if they are the same resolution then performance won't change from current screens. If you have a RX 580 going to a RX 590 won't give you much, if your staying with AMD look at the 5700XT or 5700 over the 590 for sure or even better still wait for new cards coming in next month's.

Appreciated, thanks
Yeah its funny , i sometime read people saying that playing on a 55" screen is harder to run than on a 27" screen of the same resolution 
If they both have the same resolution even going from a 19" 4k to a 105" 4k wont be any different in performance Just the 19" will look super sharp but tiny and they 105" will be massive but blurry in comparison . Also you could in theory get better performance on the 19" because you could probably go without AA where as the 105" would certainly need AA !
Going from 27" to 32" will both require AA and at 32" the 1080p resolution may start to look a little pixelated but for gaming it shouldn't be that different to 27" .
I personally have 27" triples at 1080p and my 1080Ti/7700k system is near a perfect match .

Interesting point. Before going to triple screen I was running it through a normal 55" TV and I must say the picture quality was excellent. I'm only going to the 32s because a local outlet has a sale on and I can get 3 32" curved screen monitors without going out of my budget rangeYeah its funny , i sometime read people saying that playing on a 55" screen is harder to run than on a 27" screen of the same resolution
