I suggest you build your own computer for the client side.

I only run 2 computers -- one for the server (also runs the visuals, P3D), and another for the client including the PFD, ND, MCDU for the captain and FO side.

I am using the Intel Anniversary Pentium chip -- http://www.extremetech.com/computing/186017-intels-anniversary-pentium-may-be-the-ultimate-budget-gaming-cpu

Get a cheap nvidia card with multiple video DVI/HDMI and that should be sufficient -- most of them come with 4 outputs these days. Get a motherboard also with multiple video outputs and you should have sufficient amount for all your screens.

In the end you save money, save energy, save space.

The days of running multiple computers (unless you want visual generators running off different computers e.g. 2 or 3 before you edge blend) is over.
