First of all, thanks in advance for your help and/or advice. Now to the point...

I am a small business owner and my desktop is about 7 years old and well, lets just say it is past time for a new one. I am working with a budget of $800 but if a couple hundred more would take to a whole new level then I can do up to $1000.

I am not a gamer and the only game ever played on this system will be The Sims 4 which my daughters love and from what I understand, is not very graphics intensive.

I run a specific software for my business that is a resource hog and I have to be able to run 3 monitors as well. As a result, I would like 16 GB ram and a 250Gb SSD as my primary drive.

I also will be using this machine as a plex server to stream movies to all of my smart tvs around my home and my ipad when I am away.As a result, I would like a 1TB or 2TB secondary HD for storage of this media.

Finally, my home office is located in my bedroom so a quiet build in a small stylish form factor (no glass panels and lights needed) would be great but not a dealbreaker if I cant make it happen.

Again, thanks so much for the help and fire away with any questions about things I am sure I have left out.

Thanks for your reply. Would all 3 monitors be ran from the r7 card or a combination of the r7 card and the onboard graphics?

Also, anyone else want to chime in with other options? Any suggestions on a quiet case/fan setup? Thanks!
