Got a budget of R9k, What do you recommend in terms of proc, mobo, etc? If the system can handle the odd game here and there it will be good but will be used for software development 90% of the time, must be quick - Don't have time to wait for pages to load or sql queries to finish while I develop. Will buy all components from esquire by the way. Will need to support 3 displays as well.

Id' guess that you can fit something like the following in your budget:
Sandy Bridge i5 2500K CPU + P67 motherboard ~ R3400
8GB DDR3 1333MHz RAM ~ R1000
1TB HDD ~ R500
60GB SSD ~ R1300
HD 6850 ~ R1500
Case + PSU ~ R1000
You might have to search a bit more to get an AMD graphics card that supports 3 screens. I'm not sure if all of the new cards supports 3 screens?

Club 3D Radeon HD 6850 Overclocked Edition supports 3 and 6 with a MSB hub. I reckon most them in the 6800 series will do it but you need native DisplayPort 1.2 supportive monitors.
