Um.... I am a full on PC guy and.... Cannot remember the last time I had to install a driver. It's all automatic these days. Has been for years.
Multiple monitors? All of my PCs run multiple monitors, including my laptops. Hell, even my M$ Surface runs multiple monitors. Until just recently all my computers ran Win7. Multiple monitors was not an issue - Just plug the monitor in and it works. If you need to change the settings, right click on the desktop and quickly change the settings.
My back up PC is the exact computer you described - Alienware "Area 51". Never had a problem, never had to install drivers, never had to install monitors or anything - just plug them in.
Windows used to be a chore. Everything was complicated and difficult. Now it's all just plug and play.
Now for iPhones.... NEVER AGAIN. EVER. We have four phones, two of them iPhones, and the only phones we have problems with is.... IPhones. One iPhone is currently not working, the other has a cracked screen - again.
