can I run 6 monitors with this setup?

[eztogo]

I am out of the market for 6 years. so please bear with me.

I am building a new trading computer.

CPU : Intel Core i3-6100 3M 3.7 GHz LGA 1151

GPU : ASUS GeForce GT 740 DirectX 11 GT740-OC-1GD5 1GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready Video Card

Motherboard : GIGABYTE GA-B150M-D3H-GSM LGA 1151 Intel B150 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

PSU : CORSAIR CX series CX600 600W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply

Memory : G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2133 (PC4 17000) Intel Z170 Platform / Intel X99 Platform ...

I'll reuse other parts.

here is my question. the motherboard has 3 display outputs and I believe I can run 3 monitors without graphic card since the cpu has graphic chipset or something. if that is correct, can I run every single 6 monitors at 1900x1080 resolutiions with the cpu and gpu combinaiton? or do I have to choose which gpu I will use? that is, from cpu or pci express. if this is the case, I guess I need to buy 2 pci express gpu for 6 monitors.

please enlighten me and thanks in advance.

Traders have been successfully using this card..

This older used Eyefinity 6 card will most likely work as well, and save some $$

You will also need 6 of these for DVI connections to monitors..

They use the same Eyefinity 6 setup in this Trader PC.

Yes and no.

Your motherboard will (probably - double check in the manual) run 3x 1080p monitors just fine. But since I'd assume you want a matched set of monitors, you'll need some adapters to get the three different video outputs working. (A lot of monitors now are dropping VGA and even DVI support.)

The GPU you've got there will (probably - double check in the manual) not support 3x monitors. (Low end video cards with that port layout typically only do two outputs. Unless they have Displayport, in which case the DP can be used with an active adapter for three.)

Higher-end video cards exist, like those Burpo linked to, with a large number of digital (DP/HDMI) outputs. I would recommend finding monitors that use HDMI or DP, and not DVI or VGA, since the cables are smaller and easier to route.
