Cheap 3 Display system

[shadowdasher]

So I was asked to help build a cheap 3 display pc that would be in a store front/convention both.

Budget: Cheap as possible
Resolution: 1080p on 3 screens
Games / Settings Desired: low power consumption, will be on for long periods, needs to stay cool in a cabinet
Any other intensive software or special things you do (Frequent video encoding, 3D modeling, etc)
Country: USA
Parts that can be reused: None
Do you need an OS?: No
Do you need peripherals (e.g. monitor, mouse, keyboard, speakers, etc)?: No

Would this be good enough?

Why a H60 ? I would spend that money into the CPU and go with a stock cooler or just save 60$.
Also the PSU is overkill and a cheap corsair one go with:

Oh and does the GPU support 3 displays ?

forgive my ignorance but doesn't 3D modeling require quite a powerful system?

The H60 is mostly due to the fact it will be in a cabinet, figured it would help.

The gpu does support 3 displays, how well, not sure.

This is why I came here. I'm not the most experienced.

... nowhere does he say hes 3D modelling.

FWIW, you went weirdly over on some parts, and under on others. Ill try to post something better later. Im out and about on errands (waiting on an oil change right now), so itll be later on.

What are you putting on these 3 displays?

[shadowdasher]

It will mostly be videos off the HHD and internet.

In this setup, youll have to run one monitor off of the iGPU on the Pentium. It's more than capable. (If the Motherboard had enough display outs, you can actually run 3 monitors off of the HD 510 in the Pentium).

You could, for a bit more, step up to the GTX 1050 and run all three off of that.

This looks pretty good, thank you.
