PC build around $1,200 budget?

Hey there, I'm looking for some help putting together a PC build around the $2667 mark, but there's a catch—that budget needs to cover two monitors as well. It’s mostly going to be my workhorse for my home office setup, though I’ll definitely be jumping into some games every now and then when I have the chance. I’ve seen people go back and forth on whether you should prioritize immediate power or future-proofing, and honestly, I'd much rather lean toward the latter. I don't mind setting aside some extra cash down the road to upgrade parts as needed rather than just tossing the whole machine and buying a new one from scratch.

I stumbled upon this particular monitor; I'm not entirely sure if the specs are actually any good, but the thin bezels caught my eye since I plan on mounting them side-by-side. Ideally, I’d love to go even bigger if the budget allows, but for now, this looks promising.

Is there any chance we could go with a larger monitor? I was thinking maybe at least a 23-inch screen would be better.

A few different monitors available... I guess you could swap in a Skylake platform and it would fit those dual 24" screens just fine.
