AFAIK Maya uses OpenCL/GL a lot, so the "no AMD" rule woudn't really be beneficial to anybody

Yeeeah, going to have to agree there. OpenCL/GL is really a strong suit for an AMD card.

 

For a monitor, I use 3 ASUS PA238QR's, they are 1920by1080 IPS panels. Meant for color work, but I also use them for gaming sometimes and they do just fine.

 

Here's the thing, are you looking to do work on this thing or are you looking more for gaming? Because if you are using this as a workstation I would strongly recommend an AMD Firepro for Maya. If you are just gaming and the whole "rendering" thing is just something you may do from time to time, then really it doesn't matter what graphics card you get as long as it works.

 

Going to have to be a little more specific if you want someone else to part out your system.
