Thank you all for your input. Finally people who make some sense here. I knew those parts could handle what I wanted.

I would check out Matrox cards, as they are some of the best with multiple displays. You can get a cheap one that will output to 4 monitors no problem.
You can accomplish what you want with 1 matrox card, and save money.

Any video card Nvidia makes will only benefit you in gaming (geforce series) or rendering (quadro) and multiple displays does not take any kind of special powers, it just takes the right product. |
Alright I'll look into those vid cards. Thanks man.

You're an idiot. If you had read what I originally wrote I was going to be using software like Ultramon. I said, the only 2 programs I'd really be running on this rig is powerpoint and ultramon. I also said I was gunna have the monitors showing the menus... why would I want each monitor showing the same thing... that would be pointless.
Thank you everyone else who actually read the thread and put some thought into what you wrote without assuming this was for gaming.
Another setup I was looking into is this:
But now that I see I can use the matrox video card to accomplish what I want, ignore those video cards...
