Hello everyone, great feedback that I will keep in mind and continue to work with our vendors to find the best solution with. One of the cards that I was looking at is fairly cheap and can at least drive multi-displays (even 4K 60hz) was the Nvidia Quadro P600. I feel especially based on the work that Greg has been doing, the processor, storage, and RAM is more important than graphics. So I will lean more towards that type of build. I will provide an update as soon as we have something more concrete regarding some final specifications that I hope to have soon. Thanks
