I'm setting up a Dell Optiplex with either a 7070 or 7080 tower. I'm planning to add an ATX PSU and either a low-profile GPU or an older graphics card, specifically looking at the GTX 1650 and RX 6400 Low Profile since they fit my budget and work well with Intel's 9th and 10th generation processors. I'm aiming for a dual monitor setup and need recommendations on good monitors to consider. I've checked out a few models like the AOC 24B2XH, Acer SB272, and Gigabyte G24F 2, but I'm hesitant because they often lack features like multiple HDMI ports, which I need since I want to connect my MacBook too. Also, I've heard that a 27" 1080p monitor might look strange. Any suggestions or things I should avoid? Thanks for any help!

Don't forget about potential adapter needs for your setup, especially with the PSU and GPU power connections. Researching what adapters might be necessary before you buy will save you some headaches. Good luck!
Hey there! Sounds like a solid setup you're going for. For budget monitors, I'd recommend checking out the ASUS VP249QGR or the Dell P2419H. Both offer decent specs and multiple ports you'd likely need for your dual setup. Just make sure to verify if they fit your budget and availability!
Thanks for the tip! I think both GPUs I'm considering will work with the PCIe slots for power, but I'll definitely check it out further.
