Triple Monitor - Buy a docking station or Graphics card

I am looking to replace my desktop computer with another computer that can handle 3 monitors.  I have a standing desk.  The  thing is I was debating whether I would get a docking station that could handle 3 monitors and plug a mini PC into it to save room OR is it better to get a full desktop computer and get a graphics card that handles 3 monitors.  Which is a better setup? I'm not into gaming, but I do want a reliable 3 monitor setup that doesn't get glitchy.  Any suggestions in this regard?

with a mini pc- you're independent of the original pc - so that's not a 3 monitor setup imo.
my personal choice would be a 3 monitor card - but watch out for the added power consumption - if the PS can handle it

Nobus, how would I account for the extra power consumption from a graphics card?

A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for use at a single location due to its size and power requirements, usually by one person. The most common configuration has a case that houses the power supply, motherboard, disk storage (usually one or more hard disk drives and optical disc drives); a keyboard and mouse for input; and computer monitor and printer for output. The case may be oriented horizontally and placed atop a desk or vertically and placed underneath or beside a desk.
