looking for some advice with regards to setting up a workstation with 2 or 3 monitors, but i am not sure which graphics card/s would be best to use or what my options are?

the computer is not used for gaming so i dont need a high end graphics card.

if anyone has any suggestions, your help would be much appreciated.
 
What inputs does each screen have, and what resolution/refresh rate are they? If they're simple 1080p60 screens then any card from the last 10+ years will run 2 monitors easily, and most cards from the HD5xxx series and up for AMD, and the 6xx series upwards for Nvidia can run 3 (an Active adapter may be needed for AMD HDxxxx cards if no screen has DisplayPort input).

Also, what CPU and outputs are on the Motherboard? A lot of recent Intel and AMD CPUs can run 2 screens and some even run 3, so you might not even need a GPU at all.
