I've always wanted a set up like that! not so much the 4k but the 3 monitors lol

Do it. Gaming immersion with Eyefinity/Surround Vision can't be matched. (Except by real life!)

When you first set a triple-monitor display up, it does taking some getting used to because of the massive real-estate area, but now after a couple of years, I actually find it frustrating to use a PC with only a single screen now.

However, the big caveat is the sheer amount of hardware you need to push framerates at such a resolution, Dirt is fine it's a fairly low-demanding game as are most console ports.
But games that push the hardware like Battlefield, Crysis, Metro require a beefy system even at 1080P, so you will find you need to upgrade more often or tone down the settings.

I bought three monitors and connected them to my PC four months ago and never used them for gaming. How can I use the three of them to play games like Counter-Strike and Team Fortress?

First you have to go to settings and set up "eyefinity" for AMD cards and "Nvidia surround" for Nvidia.

Once your 3 displays are recognized as a single display running at  5XXX x 1080p resolution (1080pX3 + bezel correction), you will have those resolutions available in most games under display options.

It looks something like this...

 

 

I personally find multi-displays a must for productivity...but for gaming its very cool as well. My current setup below :)

 

Thank you. I try it now.
