Need help with my build configuration

Hey there,

Since I'm being forced to pick up a new rig for work, I could use a little help picking out the parts. My requirements are pretty straightforward—web browsing and basic apps that don't demand massive resources—but I need everything to run smoothly across four monitors in extended desktop mode. So, I'm looking at a mid-range processor and a matching motherboard. For RAM, I'm thinking 8GB (though I suspect 4GB might actually cut it, so that's not a dealbreaker). As for the GPU, I assume it needs Eyefinity technology along with DisplayPort, HDMI, and maybe two DVI outputs or a DVI/VGA combo. I already have the monitors since I've been using two HP Thin clients—two of them, with two monitors each—but those clients have finally bit the dust, so I'm moving to a single tower driving all four screens. I'll just grab an SSD for now; from what I've looked into, it seems more sensible since I don't really need bulk storage, and I can always slap an HDD in later if the need arises.

My budget is roughly $3,500 to $4,000, so yeah, I'd appreciate any help or suggestions you guys have.😉

The GPU has 2xDP, HDMI, and 2xDVI. If those ports $50 are the issue, then maybe just grab 4GB of RAM.

If I were him, I'd cut costs on the graphics card rather than the RAM—modern browsers will absolutely devour RAM before you can even blink.
The 260x should be plenty in terms of connectors, plus it’s $67 cheaper.
