I'm thinking of getting a new PC and want it to be able to run two eve clients on max settings, will a i5 6400 and an AMD Radeon 470 4gb be up to the task?

Eve is not a very demanding game hardware wise. The number of clients that you are running should not matter too much. If GFX are all that you are worried about the number of pixels that you are trying to push is what matters.

What kind of GFX card or cards that you will need to run two eve clients on one 1900 X 1080 monitor won't be that much. However running one Eve client on 3, 4K monitors would probably take multiple of the most expensive GFX card out there to run on full settings.

I run EVE @1080p and all settings maxed with old Intel i5 760, 8GB DDR3 RAM and AMD R9 270X. My average FPS is 59 everywhere except in some anomalys or belts that have heavy dust clouds. When those clouds are near me my FPS drop to 30 average but it still fully playable. So according to that, your setup will work perfect Blink

Just to echo, EVE is not a graphics intense program, until you get into large fleet battles (like really large). I run EVE on two machines. My laptop isn't much. It's a workstation build, i7 4800M @ 2.7GHz with a 2GB NVidia Quadro K1100M. Runs fine, even with CAD Renderings going in the background. My desktop at home runs off a XEON 3.2GHz with a AMD r9 280x with no problems, running multiple clients at once. But that computer was set up to run other CAD and Rendering heavy programs, but it is nearly 3 years old now. I know my GCU is probably going to die soon. Its been pushed hard for 3 years.

If you are building a new set up, I wouldn't use EVE as something to benchmark from. Build to just about any other game other than Frogger, and you'll be fine with EVE.
