   Needless expense and two additional error sources.   
      
   AM4 boards with two HDMI ports are rare, buit you can get one with one   
   HDMI port and one DisplayPort, and then use a DP->HDMI cable (or maybe   
   the screens have alternative ports, then you don't need a special   
   cable).

   Certainly.  All Ryzens <7000 without "G"/"GE".  But it does not save   
   money.  If you really have trouble driving all your screens with the   
   5700G graphics (which I don't expect), you can use it to drive one,   
   and buy a graphics card for the other.  Or use the graphics card for   
   both (which usually is also possible).
