I want a desktop pc build with 3 portrait monitors for document design and editing, not for gaming. I am not that great with computers but I definitely want a Core I7 processor and the graphics ability to run 3 portrait monitors. So far, I am looking at...

3 of the following monitors...

ACER 21.5" LED LCD Monitor - 16:9 - 8 ms

This desktop PC...

Dell XPS 8700 Desktop - Intel Core i7-4770 Quad-Core Haswell up to 3.9 GHz, 16GB Memory, 1TB 7200RPM HDD, NVIDIA GF GTX 645 1GB, DVD Burner, Windows 8

Again, this is for office productivity and design, not gaming. Would that PC and 3 of those monitors be plug and play enough for a regular joe like me?

Thanks for your advice!

Like you stated before if you are not doing heavy gaming that video card is OK for your task. You can always upgrade the GPU later if needed. Display resolution is the number of distinct pixels in each dimension that can be displayed. So, Higher resolution means pixels are smaller, so images should be sharper. but image quality also depends on the type of panel use on the monitor. Hope that helps.

Thanks for your answer, no I havent thought of that because I don't know what that is. :) Again, not for gaming or high end use, just need to see 3 documents/windows/monitors at once. So, that PC has a graphics card that will run 3 monitors? Thanks again for your help. AC

I know they are more common in professional environments for reasons that I don't fully understand.

You get more pixels with 1920x1080 displays(gaming displays). With 1600x1200, you are typically sacrificing some length for more height(in lanscape mode)

Since you will be using portrait mode, a 1600x1200 display will give you more length(horizontal pixels) while giving up some of the height(vertical pixels).

It could boil down to preference but it is something to consider in a non-gaming environment. There is also 1920x1200 but those start to get expensive.
