On pc 1 I would not buy 1333 ram buy 1600 as its not much more but is the sweet spot for performance. Why do you need a 24" screen for s server/nas?? Use a old 17" or something like that.

I would guess you would need a HD7950/7970 or 670/680 to drive games well on 3*24" or maybe even 2 of each depending upon how much eye candy you want. Nice monitors BTW

Buy a better psu than a builder series. NEVER SKIMP on a psu. Like a

Seasonic SS-650RM 650W Modular Power Supply DC-DC PSU 80Plus Gold 5 Year Warranty

Corsair HX 650W Professional Gold 80PLUS® Power Supply

If you plan to go sli/Xfire (with top end gpu's) then you may need something more in the region of 800+ like a

Seasonic SS-1050XM X-Series 1050W Modular Power Supply 80+ GOLD
