Before I click 'Buy' on this, is there anything else you'd suggest I look at changing? It looks pretty good to me, but just want to be sure I haven't changed something stupid!
Also, going to get Windows installed as well, then dual-boot Linux/Windows - don't think that'll make any difference to...
5800X doesn't have an APU, so I think that build would need a separate gfx card, so looking at the 5700G, I get this build. Changed the RAM to 2x32GB so I can increase later when required. This is using the MST splitter you suggested.
Anything else you'd change with this?
Case
CORSAIR 4000D...
Sure - https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/saved-configurations/amd-am4-gen3-pc/M!XZZrjwfF/
That's an interesting idea which I hadn't thought of, that idea certainly has merit
Feels like we're getting close to a final build. I like the idea of the 5800X. How's this build look? Just need to find an OK gfx card for a sensible price.

Processor (CPU)
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X Eight Core CPU (3.8GHz-4.7GHz/36MB CACHE/AM4)...
Thanks for that. Forget the spec I posted I guess - sounds like it's junk! Glad I asked for some advice first before ending up with something that's sub-standard.
i7 would be nice to have, and the £1200 budget is certainly not set in stone or anything. If it needs to go higher, so be it.
That...
Many thanks for all of the advice so far. Meant to include the spec I was looking at, looks like I forgot to press ctrl-v! I've remembered this time.
Budget is probably around £1200 (inc VAT), could perhaps go more if it's really worth it. The AMD Radeon 5500 Mnemonic mentioned looks like it...
Hi
Can anyone suggest a graphics card please, that supports 3 monitors? Not interested in gaming, it's for a development box so messing around with websites, databases, stuff like that so shouldn't need anything crazy from a performance perspective.
Keen to avoid VGA (monitors don't support it)...
