How do I connect 6 monitors with this PC?

Hello community,

I am looking to use my existing custom built PC for work/trading, and I need 6 monitors to fit my 6 Bloomberg screens. I used this PC for gaming but now will be solely for business. Can I purchase 5 other monitors like the one I have below and simply connect them all? I am not a techy so your help would be appreciated. Please see detail specs of my PC below.

Monitor: Acer GN246HL Bbid 24-Inch 3D Gaming Display (144Hz Refresh Rate)

CPU: Intel 3.70 GHz Core i3-6100 3M Cache Processor

Motherboard: MSI Intel Skylake H170 LGA 1151 DDR4 USB 3.1 ATX Motherboard (H170A PC Mate)

Memory: Kingston HyperX FURY Black 8GB Kit (2x4GB) 2133MHz DDR4 Non-ECC CL14 DIMM Desktop Memory (HX421C14FBK2/8)

Graphic card: ASUS ROG STRIX Radeon RX 460 4GB OC Edition AMD Gaming Graphics Card (STRIX-RX460-O4G-GAMING)

Power: Antec High Current Gamer HCG-520M, 80 PLUS BRONZE, 520 Watt Modular Power Supply

Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler with 120mm PWM Fan (RR-212E-20PK-R2)


Thanks

It looks like this is possible. Your GPU should be able to run 3 monitors, and your integrated card on motherboard also should run 3 (although motherboard specification does not state that clearly, and neither does manual). Two problems you face are changing BIOS setting to allow iGPU run at same time as GPU, and assortment of cables you'll need to connect all 6. Your monitor has DVI, HDMI and VGA, and so does your motherboard, so there is no problem here. But GPU has DP, HDMI and DVI, so you need HDMI cable, DVI cable and DP to HDMI or DP to DVI cable.
