Hello everyone.

I am trying to build a pc that will support a specific need for my business.
I am trying to setup several monitors around my store and play specific commercials on them so that my customers will be attracted to my newline of products.

I stumbled across this deal on newegg and I think its a good deal but I know nothing about AMD.
link http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?I...

1x Rosewill LINE-M Micro-ATX Mini Tower Computer Case, Dual USB 3.0, come with Dual Fans, Support up to 4 Fans, 12.5" card (Model:LINE-M) $49.99
1x ASUS A55BM-E FM2+ / FM2 AMD A55 (Hudson D2) Micro ATX AMD Motherboard (Model:A55BM-E) $54.99
1x Rosewill ARC M450 Continuous 450W@40 C degree ATX12V v2.31 & EPS12V v2.92 Yes Active PFC Power Supply $54.99
1x AMD A10-7850K Kaveri 12 Compute Cores (4 CPU + 8 GPU) 3.7GHz Socket FM2+ 95W Desktop Processor AMD Radeon R7 series $169.99
1x HyperX Fury Black Series 8GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model HX316C10FB/8 $79.99
1x Western Digital WD Blue WD10EZEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive $57.99

Total price after instant savings = $375.00

Please answer my question in regards to this deal.

1. Is this a good deal (money for value) ?
2. Will this support my need of playing the same video simultaneously on three monitors?
3. Do I need to buy a video card or will the build in GPU do the job?
4. Is anything else I should know, or be aware off?

Thank you in advance.

1) For the money it looks like a good budget computer
2) That motherboard only has 2 video outputs so you would need a splitter at least, also only outputs dvi/vga signals so depends on the TV's you have whether they can accept this signal (note with the splitter it would mean that it is the same video on 2 of the 3 screens)
3) In theory the onboard GPU can support upto 4 monitors with "Eyefinity", will depend on the actual load it is seeing, if you are running one 1080p video that is copied to 3 monitors then it only has to process it once so it should be alright, if you are trying to run three different videos then you will probably have issues with just the APU
4) Some similar threads below about this chip...

Unfortunately doesnt give a 3 monitor review since this chip is not powerful enough for gaming at those resolutions

So overall I do not know if this would work for the setup you have in mind, if you are trying to play 3 different videos I would say it would not work, if you want to repeat the same thing then maybe depending on your TV hookups, I use a similar chip in a home theater PC and it works fine for 1080p on a 32" TV but that is via HDMI. Also if you want to run audio streams would definitely be limited to one stream in this case
