Hello!

So as you all know, christmas is coming up, and my mother is asking what I want, I'm interested in getting a new PC, something that is affordable, cheap(ish) preferably.

However, as most teenage computer users wish, I want to be able to run 3 monitors off of this one PC, without having to purchase any other additional parts.

My monitors are all 1080p (1920 x 1080), and I need a PC that has a suitable graphics card, and a PSU that is able to run that graphics card, (obviously).

So to conclude, I need a PC that is able to run 3 monitors simultaneously, without any issues or purchasing of additional parts. Any other questions please ask.
Thanks. :)

Pretty much all graphics cards currently available only come with a single HDMI port, so you're going to need adapters for your other two monitors unless they have other outputs. If your monitors are VGA or HDMI only, don't bother with VGA, new cards have dropped analog display support entirely and you can't use VGA without an active adapter on the RX 4xx cards and GTX 10 series cards. You'll have to decide on a graphics card and get the appropriate adapters for your monitors. If you're looking at a card like a GTX 1060, those will usually have 1 DVI, 2 or 3 DisplayPort and one HDMI, so you'd need to...

Good Question, well, I have to say, money is tight. Mother is happy to spend £250 - £300, and then If it were any more, I'd have to put in some of my own money, which I'm not looking to do, aha.

I'm not looking to game on it really, just want to be able to run 3 monitors for ease, rather than gaming.

That's all fine, I'm happy to purchase adapters when needed, but my original question was if there was already a premade PC that I could purchase that would support 3 monitors straight away, without having to purchase any additional parts
