I have built PCs for myself. But the last two were in 2014. Today I rather buy used on eBay and modify it upward. With more memory and more NVMe and hard drive space.
.
Next year or two I will buy a used OptiPlex i5-12500. With 2x DisplayPort outs, so I can have dual QHD or 4K displays at a high refresh rate. The intel 770 UHD graphics are good enough for moi.

When I buy that used OptiPlex I will install 32GB memory. I currently use 16GB memory, and I can just about get by. My current desktop CPU is i5-8400 with......
500GB NVMe and 1TB hard drive storage

My monitor is 27” QHD ultra low blue light by Dell -— https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0D3FGFPPB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 -—— bought as an Amazon return for $105 last Christmas. Has one year Dell warranty.
—— ComfortView Plus technology to reduce blue light emission, minimizing eye strain.-——

If I could find bigger pinheads from Temu, I’ll bet more angels could dance on them.

If your computer has thunderbolt ports, you can do that through an Inexpensive thunderbolt hub- thunderbolt is lrett awesome, even if it only has 1 connection, the hubs will multiply connections and have plenty of speed/power for daisy chaining many things, including several monitors at high rez

Also, if you have usb ports, usb porthubs will work‐ they too are Inexpensive

The following has a few ways tO connect without the need for 2 display port connections

Forgot to mention, I didn’t realize there were low blue light monitors- thanks for mentioning that- I wear blue light blocker glasses beczuse my eyes were getting affected by blue light- they would sting and tear up at the end of the night after being on comp. The glasses worked wonders, but would rather not have that tint they use as I wear the glasses all day, and it tints everything a warm hue.
