Minimalist PC specification for multi-monitor setup

Hi, I am planning to get a PC that can handle a multi-monitor setup. This initially will be 2 monitors but may need to be increased to 4.

I don't need it for gaming, just lightweight home-office work and Python programming for finance work. To reduce the final price, I am thinking of getting an AMD-based system (Ryzen 2600X) with Radeon RX550, 16GB RAM and 128GB SSD.

My thinking is that if in the future, I need to connect more monitors (or play games), I could just upgrade the GPU and add additional RAM/HDD. At the same time, I would like to avoid false economy if it turns out the cost of upgrades will be significantly higher than if I get a better specification to begin with, for example a new PSU might be needed with an additional GPU.
