hi

im wanting to self - build, low cost as possible but to be able to run two monitors.
The pc will not be used for gaming - just word processing and lots of research - having lots of Journal Articles open at the same time as well as websites and word documents/pdfs.

recommendations for hardware would be massively appreciated.
 
All you really need for multi monitors is a graphics card, any graphics card. Something really cheap like a GT 210 would be fine. Other than that, virtually any modern setup would be fine assuming it's all compatible. I would just go for at least 2 cores, 2-4GB of RAM and a nice reliable PSU.
