Can monitor1 be run at 60hz? 15 hz isn’t a lot and it could make things simpler.  It could just be automagical though and may not make a difference. If you want to run a stitched together single window using identical monitors is usually preferred.  There can be issues with color balance and pixel density stuff.  Fast SSDs are potentially still less useful for gaming. Might have uses for it I suppose. How useful high speed SSDs are is controversial and variable though.  I’m not saying it’s automatically a useless additional cost.  It’s the thing that pops out to me though.  Rockets have a rep for being pricey.

It's a 75Hz monitor mate

Some monitors can run at lower than specced  hertz.  Some can’t.  May not matter

Maybe a 6600XT and 10400F?

10400f is 6/12 with not impressive base clock but decent listed boost.  It should game OK. The resizing technology changes requirements for some stuff downwards.  There’s not much out for it at the moment but it’s growing.  The resize technology seems to be good for one shift up with close to undetectable quality and it’s better at big stuff than small stuff. The 10400 is in the atm it’s pretty good, may (but only may) work down the road too. The 6600xt is supposed to be a bit weaker than the 5700xt. Not sure how much. 5700xt card was a “1080” type device so 1440p or 4k in a pinch.  Monitor sizes aren’t even mentioned.  If they’re all 1080p it should be able to drive them all at once fine as that’s more or less “3k” (yes people hate that terminology with reason. It’s short though). Different sizes could change things though.

Gpu is up in the air for this recommendation. You can use the iGPU while you wait for better deals at least. Also, you can use a lower wattage PSU if you don't plan to upgrade to beyond a 3060TI/3070 in the future
