Hi Holla Forums, can we have a PC rig thread? Feel free to post your battle-stations or tell stories about your gaming computer, if you have one. And if you don't have one, you can ask questions about it.
I just build a computer with an i5 Skylake processor and I have a few games that I bought from Steam. Skullgirls plays perfectly on my Linux Mint install and I would love to have a few more games like San Andreas and Shantae when I get a Windows license.
Is there a decent graphics card that isn't too expensive but can handle casual gaming but can still be useful for dual/triple monitor setups? I would just get any video card just for the multi-monitor set up but I of course want to be able to play the few games I care about.
Pic related; this case is sweet but a pain in the ass to manage the cables.
I'm currently using a 750 ti (65W) and an i5 4460 (84W?)

Assuming everything else doesn't use a lot of power, at 650w you have a lot of room. Looking back, I should have gotten more than 430w for my computer. But later I want to get a modular one anyways, so I guess I'm fine for now.

I'm still using a GTX 760 with three monitors and it can handle games just fine. I can run Doom 2016 on Medium with enough AA and particle effects to make it look pretty good, and can run most other games on High. You can probably find one for real cheap nowadays

GTX 680 with an i5-3570 here I do dual 1080p monitors just fine I have no issues gaming on one monitor and watching VLC on the other at the same time.
