I'm helping my uncle purchase a PC for Forex trading and he wanted to have dual monitors.

I was wondering, is an integrated graphics card with one HDMI and one VGA output sufficient? Will it run dual monitors and will the quality on the VGA output be adequate? Or will buying a PC with a discrete video card be worth the extra $100-200 for the outputs alone?

I'm looking at the $450-600 range without the discrete graphics card. Prebuilt.

integrated graphics would be more than enough running like 2x 1080p monitor. Specially if you are look into a new PC build for like regular office work.

Thanks but I'm doing prebuilt cause I don't feel like building it myself lol. Plus prebuilt are way better value outside of the high-end gaming PC market.

next mining boom + phone memory increase individual gpu's + ram combined going to cost more than a prebuilt that already has both of them and ppl still going to swear they are shit values
similar thing happened earlier this year when ethereum first hit the market gpu prices exploded prebuilts stayed the same and everyone just pretended it didn't happen and kept linking ppl overpriced to hell partspickers and shitting on the notion that anything else was even an option
it cracks me up
i mean i've only ever assembled my own computers and it's about as hard as putting together lego bricks, is it really worth being so elitist over

i can just see it now, the year is 2019, the corpses of of dozens of chd posters will be littered across the subforum, the words "i may have paid $700 for 8GiB of RAM but at least I know it's high quality!" and "will gtx 1260's ever cost under $1000?" echoing across their broken bodies for all eternity.
