A client has asked for a build that he can use with his six monitors. This is the first build of this kind I have done so I don't have much experience on this. I also have to get the information from him as far as what the models of the monitors are.

From what I understand, two HD6450's should do the trick. How would one go about getting them to work with six monitors? I know it isn't as easy as just hooking them up to the cards.
 
Depends on the monitors.
If you want everything to work seemlessly, get monitors with DVI/HDMI, VGA, and DP.
If not, you'll need to get DP->VGA or ACTIVE DP-> SL-DVI Adapters. All DP->VGA Adapters are active, so no need to worry there.

EDIT: Or buy 2 of these and be done. No special adapters needed.

Actually it *IS* as easy as hooking up the cards. You also might not need 2 cards if it is an Ivy Bridge setup with a triple display motherboard *AND* you are using Windows 7 (won't work with Vista or XP).
