Video editing PC / Multiple screens

[WayneBingo]

I've never built a PC before so all of this is a little overwhelming. My laptop has proven to not have enough power to handle some of the video editing & live-stream work I have been doing recently. So my first concern was juicing this up so it has enough raw power to handle that kind of stuff. My second concern is just in setting up of the monitors. I may sound daft here but how do I tell how many ports I have to plug monitors into? I currently have two monitors plus my laptop monitor on the go, so I'm used to three screens. But I've no idea how many ports this has to plug screens into? Any help appreciated.

I recommend going with a better case for improved airflow and if the PC's main purpose will be video editing then Intel is sadly behind AMD and you will be much better off with going with a AMD based CPU.
You might also consider a 64 GB RAM kit which you might need to install yourself since I think PCS Max is 32GB, so you can buy lowest 1 ram stick then buy 64GB of any other retailer and install it yourself.
I'd also increase the PSU to 700+ since video editing is time consuming so an RMx series PSU is a must.
I'd also get an SSD instead of a hard drive, that will greatly increase your speed for transferring files and clips that you would be editing.

thanks for the suggestion. What about the minor issue of multi-screen set up? How do I know how many monitors I can plug in to either of these builds?
