Need two PCs built.

A cheaper motherboard is possible, especially if you don't need wifi and are willing to go H610. CPU can be had a little cheaper too.
RX 6600 can cope with most games at 1440p, but obviously the lifespan at this resolution is limited, especially with AAA.
My basket at OcUK:
The office PC I'd look at a 4600/4650G prebuild, or something along those lines, they're plentiful and will be cheaper than anything you can spec yourself.

this just screams a used ex-corp pc and then chucking in a cheap gpu inside
Was thinking that would one of those tiny mini micro units cut dual 4k the 1l units?

no, those UHD630 igpus can only handle 1x 4k monitor
you'd need an el cheapo gpu to power the 2x 4k monitor, or one that already has a gpu inside
you'd need something like a 1030 to run 2x 4k
(the alternative is to have one monitor running off the igpu and the second monitor running off a gt 710 or something mediocre)
Shame would have made for a neater setup.
For competitive gaming @ 1440p? No. Not unless the game is old or not too demanding. This might be of interest:
Can The RX 6600 XT Handle 1440p Gaming in 2024? - 20 Games Tested
Today we're following up on our 6600XT benchmark video from he other day, this time seeing if this graphics card can handle 1440p gaming. For less than £200 ...

It's an entry level GPU and most suited to 1080P gaming tbh, while it will run many games decently at 1440P you're probably looking at lowering the settings.
If you can save some cash by reusing a decent PSU, look up the XFX RX6750XT Speedster QICK 319 which can be had for £299 currently, much better card.

Not a huge amount faster, so at least gives an idea what it is capable of and where it is already struggling.
Tbh that should be fine for an office PC and a couple of monitors.
Think the mobo is on the way out as it no longer outputs video hence the gt730 and the usb ports drop off randomly which requires a restart, reason for the upgrade.
Was originally shared by my brother (hybrid working from home) and nephew doing his school work now being in college they both need their own setups.
You could reuse most of it tbh, swap out the mobo and cpu for something like the following:

Spend the extra savings on a better gaming rig.
You could likely find a A520 motherboard for less, but OCUK don't have any in stock currently. Might be cheaper Intel options too, I'm sure someone else can point you toward that.

Could work they would also like to reduce the footprint for the office rig I'll have a look at smaller case
Just seen this used Dell OptiPlex Mini 7000 has the uhd770 would that be able to run two 4k displays?
