Dual Monitor Office Build/Connecting AMP to setup

soto123

Hello All,

 

This was originally under the Reasonably priced 4k office build, but after deciding not to invest in a quality 4k TV I changed to a new topic.

 

I plan on building this computer (suggested by the very kind Thunder Down Under.)

I plan on buying two of these 24 inch monitors.
 
Now, suggestions for improvement are always welcome. However, I have three specific questions.
 
1. While I do not have the exact model number because the amp/speakers are being shipped overseas right now, what advice does anyone have for connecting an amp (perhaps close to this one) to the computer or monitors most conveniently.
 
2. The above graphics card should fit in this case with about an inch clearing. I have never built a PC, does anyone foresee any problems fitting everything into this case?
 
3. There are multiple ways to connect these monitors to the PC. What is the best way?
 
(Bonus Question: Is there a way to connect my Japanese PS2 to the monitors whilst still being able to use my nice speakers?)
 
Grateful for any suggestions!
