Initially i was looking to build a new work PC and a purchase a console for the office.
After seeing that I'd need an expensive graphics card to run 3x dell 25" ultrasharp screens over displayport, I'm starting to reconsider the console... It seems like it's going to be more cost effective to turn the office machine into a dual purpose office/gaming machine.
I initially looked at the following:
3x DELL U2515H Monitors (25" because i'm only 1m away from them while working)
i5-6500
16gb ram
250gb ssd
2tb hdd
rx470 4gb gfx card (gfx needs 2x displayport v1.2 minimum)
After looking for around a week now, i'm not sure which motherboard to buy, if i should stretch to getting an rx480 8gb card (3x displayport), if i should upgrade the i5-6500 to a i5-6600k etc etc
There is some room to increase the budget considering the console won't be purchased now.
I'd greatly appreciate any advice/guidance here.
