The only other thing I'd recommend honestly is, since you want absolute reliability, to get a very high-quality PSU: gold-rated or better, with a lengthy warranty. Some of the PSU mavens here can give a better recommendation on that than me, though.

Honestly, for this purpose, it really doesn't matter. Your SSD and ram speeds aren't going to really affect performance for this particular usage; just make sure whatever you buy has a decent warranty. More importantly: ensure your video card(s) will drive their respective four monitors at their max 75hz refresh rate, and ensure you have a decent mounting solution for those 8 monitors -- that's what will affect your satisfaction the most with this setup.

The specs I see for the Benq GW2780 show that it has a max 75hz refresh, not 60hz. If that isn't true, I'd highly recommended changing monitors to one that does that or better.
majority of online sites showing refresh rate : 60Hz ; maybe maximum refresh rate 75Hz possible ; well brother which monitor best suitable for my workstation i want maximum size ; 27 inch ; popular for vesa mount adjustments ; that's why am selected 27inch size ! ; i don't know ; GPU and monitor refresh rate combination ; please suggest me in detail ! thanks in advance for ur valuable replies !!

My main point was that for this system, you should be focusing more on the display aspect, rather than the speed of the components.

I'm seeing conflicting refresh rates from various sites for that monitor also. Benq itself, though, says it's a 60hz monitor. However, it also states its flicker-free certified, so I think it's a good choice for this environment. I was recommending a higher refresh rate simply to reduce potential flicker anyway ... you're not going to be gaming on this system.
