Is this build good for dual-screen (later triple-screen) use?

CPU: FX-6300 (stock clock)
RAM: 16 GB 1600mhz Crucial Ballistix (2x8GB)
Motherboard: MSI 970A-G46
PSU: Corsair HX-750
HDD: 1TB Seagate Barracuda (2 drives, but running in raid 1)
GPU: R9 270
(already ordered the parts, just waiting on shipping)

As this build is for a relative of mine who rarely plays game, would this be good enough to serve the purpose of: one screen as browser (with MANY tabs open), one screen for a stock program (probably Market Edge), and later on a word documents and pdf's on the third screen.

I plan to upgrade the build later on with an SSD, and once he shifts to triple-screens I will install another GPU for crossfire.

Will this be a smooth machine that can serve the aforementioned purposes?

Thank you,

Edit: I forgot to mention that I will be using an after-market Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo for the FX-6300.

It'll be fine, although an Intel build would definitely make more sense for that sort of usage. The FX6300 is a great value gaming chip, but the i3 performs better in desktop applications. :)

That's what I thought too, but I also plan to either use the default "OC Genie II" on the motherboard, or manually overclock it to 3.8-4.0 ghz. After the overclock, I believe the performance versus an i3 would be much closer.
