Dual screen AMD setup

[mikehextall]

Hi,

Can someone have a glance over this spec please, I have used a build previously suggested in another thread and tweaked it slightly to include two monitors in and around my budget. It will be used primarly as an Office PC with occasional gaming. I want to be sure the monitors are suitable for the build more than anything but any other comments/suggestions are welcome

Would agree with @Nursemorph on the PSU if that's doable it allows for better upgradeability going forwards.

Regarding the screens, they're very basic 1080p 60Hz. For gaming, that's not going to be ideal, would make more sense getting 1 gaming monitor and a secondary standard monitor.

I'd suggest upping the primary monitor to the
IIYAMA G2530HSU-B1 24.5"
which is currently in stock with PCS, it's 75Hz 1080p with freesync, so for gaming it will massively reduce screen tearing and just give a much smoother picture. Then you can choose any secondary monitor you like to match it as best as possible, but doesn't need to be a gaming monitor as you'll only be gaming on one.

But the build looks sound. My only other thing would be check out if the 1660 Super is within budget, it replaced the 1660 and is a bit more powerful, if it's within budget, then it's worthwhile.

Secondary thing.... if you have two of either of those monitors, they're both HDMI.

The GPU will only have 1 HDMI port, so you'd need an adaptor to convert the second monitor from HDMI to Display Port. I believe PCS stock those also.
