Yes, it will run 6 softwares (including chrome) at once.

But can Galax GT 1030 2GB DDR5 support 4 monitors? I checked, it only have 2 ports.

Been a long time since I build a PC, didnt know that an on board graphic chip can hold up to 3 monitors. So in this case, I can live with 3 monitors at the moment, any additional monitor can wait until future upgrade (with GC).
Now since I can save up on the GC cost, I intend to upgrade on other components.

Here's my questions:

Core i5-8400 - 799
Gigabyte B360M-D3H - 369 <- Any recommendation if I want to notch up a level? Or just stick with this? Oh, and I want to use micro ATX casing, and I want NVMe support as well
Kingston 8GB DDR4-2666 - 359 (Another 8gb stick can easily be upgraded next month, so no issue here)
Crucial MX500 500GB M.2 SATA - 359 <- Can change to NVMe SSD? Is Intel 760p reliable?
Coolermaster Elite 350W - 129
M1Z Micro ATX - 129 <- I want to use micro size casing

Acer ET271 27" - 608 X3 <- I need IPS panel with VESA mount, price from Lazada
