Any particular reason why you want to build your own?

Definitely wouldn't recommend a 2070 right now. With any luck the 30-something cards will be easier to get hold of before long (3070 goes on sale Thurs but demand will be enormous), and they're loads better bang for buck. AMD are also launching new cards this week.
Three monitors will work fine on a single card.

You can easily get a GPU with 3 video outputs so no need for two cards.

Comfortably that spec for under 2k.
Don't need to build your own PC unless you particularly want to.Just looking at the 2k figure, if you can find a student to get the 20% then Dell Outlet would do you this for £1972.80 (2055+VAT -20%)
The 'scratch and dent' is almost always extremely minor

I've no idea if any of these work together, or if they are bottlenecked anywhere - any tips gratefully received
No idea if you still need this but I have used PC part picker for three home build desktops (one for me and one each for my two sons) back in 2014 and they were all very successful and all three still working today (although I have subsequently upgraded my CPU, SSD and RAM).
it works well in identifying where you may have selected incompatible items.

Anyway, I'd like to build a PC, and am looking for specification recommendations, as I've not specced a PC for over 10 years.
It will be an office machine, but I'd also like to play games when nobody is watching, or I'm on really boring work calls.
When not playing games, or playing around with big data sets, I'd like it to be pretty much silent.
And I'll likely be running a 3 monitor set-up, which I'm guessing will mean two graphics cards.
Does this sound like it fits the bill?
