Under 700, Not including monitors or peripherals-

Need-

Support for 1 or 2 monitors at 4k - And another 2 or 3 at 2560x -
So 4 monitors total. Will be used for watching video and using relatively light stock trading/poker software.

-As far as gaming will go, just using it for League of legends.

- Quiet cooling system would be nice

Dont Need-

- Lots of storage

- GPU Overkill


Ive done a bit of research and have an idea of what i want but what im not sure about it the whole motherboard/ GPU / CPU relationship. I.E i dont want one of them to throttle another aspect of the build, and therefore be spending an unecessary amount on one of them

I appreciate any replies and suggestions in advance, Thanks.

That video card has 3 x Display Ports and that motherboard 1 x Display Port. So that will cover 4 monitors at up to 4K 60Hz.

And then there's also DVI on the video card for 2K.

And the HDMI on the video card is 1.4a or 2.0 (depending on the monitor's HDMI port, I believe, not sure). The former will do up to 4K at 24Hz and the latter would do 4K at 60Hz.

There's a cheaper GTX 950 that also has 3 x Display Port but you're after quiet and the MSI cooler is very good.

Specced noise-dampened case and quiet CPU cooler too.

Over-specced the PSU so it will act as a fanless, silent one (to make doubly sure - hit the ECO button on).

Thank you brother!

You're very welcome. One thing to check into is video memory usage for your apps at those resolutions. They sound light enough but not sure if 2GB for 4 or 5 monitors @4K/2K might be a bit short at times, even if not gaming. Some GTX 960 4GB's have 3 x Display ports too if you want to pay a bit more to have that extra buffer (or spec can change to accomodate one for under £700).

Would i need a bigger PSU for the 4GB 960?

No. A 350W PSU would run it.

Take your pick. I'd imagine the Windforce would be back in stock soon and cooler performance will be close to the MSI cooler.
