I'm looking at buying my first Mac, ever, with the MBP 15" 1TB. But I'd like to use my existing stuff with it (below). 2 questions that my fairly extensive searching online has failed to answer, this looks like the place to find the hardcores. I hope!

- Does the new MBP and latest MacOS support DisplayPort MST daisychaining?
- What are the best, most concise adapters to hook up all my hardware below?
Monitor: Dell U2414H 23.8" 1920x1080 60Hz Monitor (Purchased For $200.00)
Monitor: Dell U2414H 23.8" 1920x1080 60Hz Monitor (Purchased For $200.00)
Monitor: Dell U2414H 23.8" 1920x1080 60Hz Monitor (Purchased For $200.00)
Keyboard: Corsair Vengeance K70 Wired Gaming Keyboard (Purchased For $110.00)
Mouse: Logitech G303 Daedalus Apex Wired Optical Mouse (Purchased For $70.00)
Speakers: Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 120W 2.1ch Speakers (Purchased For $100.00)

Thanks, help me buy my first Mac! I played with the new MBP in the store and disagree with all the negative reviews, thing is awesome. With a few adapters, it's a desktop replacement and more for me- completely willing to spend the $3000US if I can make this work.

Well you may well be better off with a thunderbolt 3 dock to run your monitors and peripherals.

Something like this

Or this

https://9to5mac.com/2017/01/04/elgato-thunderbolt-3-dock/

And OWC are doing one with 13 ports it seems as well
 
Where can I buy the elgato TB3 dock? Couldn't find it on amazon/apple store/google.

Unfortunately it's not released yet, coming soon on their website

https://www.elgato.com/en/dock/thunderbolt-3#header

The trouble with tb3 stuff is that the Windows computer makers have been very slow to implement it so there isn't a huge incentive for makers to release stuff yet and the issues with certain older and newer TB3 protocols. clouded the issue as well.
