Advice on spec.

Looking to order a build tomorrow, but i'm on a strict budget £800-£850 max. Main use will be for trading as i'm going for a 4 monitor setup hence my GPU selection but also casual gaming e.g Dota 2 and CS GO. Would an SSD drive on its own be ok? as i will be keeping most of my files on my laptop anyway and wont need the storage space. Also will my motherboard allow for possible upgrades when needed e.g RAM, GPU, additional SSDs in the future?

Many Thanks.

Hoping that the £15 over budget is OK....

Thanks for your reply, will this spec be suitable for 4 monitors as the GPU states Max 3 monitors. Guessing I’ll be able to use the HDMI port from the motherboard to make it 4?
Many thanks.

There isn't an onboard port on the motherboard. AMD don't have built in graphics. Apologies, I wasn't paying attention to that part. I believe the 580 that you selected has what you need. It might not be as friendly but it's powerful enough for what you are after :)
