Hello so i am building a pc which will be used for web browsing and video editing. My Setup is going to be this http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/3RRb2. I am new to PC and was wondering if this setup is capable of Dual-Monitor setup, do you recommend anything else? Is this capable of triple monitor setup. Thanks

You're bass-ackwards.

Editing and output is moving to GPU acceleration.

Not sure about triple, but you can probably run double.

However....you're wasting your money with an i7-4770. Unless you're going to be doing some high-end 3D rendering, you only need that high of a processor for high-end gaming. You'd be better off saving your money & getting an i5-4690 (~£50 cheaper), or even an i3-4360 (~£100 cheaper). That would also allow you to get a better video card -- not only for better horsepower for the video editing, but because a 5450 is only cheap because it's a few generations behind; for another £50 you could easily pick up a 6670, 7770, or even an R7 250X: more processing, more memory bandwidth, & more product lifespan.

Aside from that, it's a pretty decent machine.

Less CPU -- more video card. Vegas is smokin' fast with Radeon GCN GPU acceleration ... an R9 270X should work just dandy.

Anand has Vegas compute benchmarks.
