Hi, I am building an Office PC soon. This PC will mostly be used for word, Excel, heavy internet browsing (20+ Tabs along with Web Based investing software), as well as running investing software and PDF files. when not managing my investments I might be running some CAD software (AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor, Revit, Solidworks etc.) because I am majoring in Mechanical Engineering. My Budget is $1000, at maximum. My main concern is what is the best graphics card configuration to power 6 monitors, I will not be using 6 initially, more like 2-3 monitors initially, however I want to be able to expand to 6 in the future. Monitors will all be 1080p 24". Silence is a factor in this build, no overclocking will be done because I am focusing on reliability. This PC shouldn't have any flare as well, it is preferable that it look clean and professional.
I have intentionally left out my Graphics card configuration because I need suggestion on that piece of hardware, also I am fine with 256GB of storage because most files will be saved and opened from an NAS server. If anyone has further suggestions or alternate builds feel free to post them here.
Remember this is first and foremost an Office PC oriented toward multitasking with 6 monitor support, no gaming of any sort and occasionally CAD
Thanks in advance, Kyle
