Hey guys,

I'm planning to build this PC for stock trading and minor gaming.
I've checked the compatibility from pcpartpicker.com and it seems to be OK.
Would appreciate if any pros can advise or comment on my setup for any potential problem etc (like RAM clearance etc).
Note : No OC cpu because I've no idea how to do so.

Here goes :

CPU = i-7 6700K
CPU COOLER = Cryorig H5 Ultimate
MOBO = ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming
RAM = Kingston hyperx fury 16gb x2 PC 2400
GPU = MSI RX 480 8gb gaming X
PSU = EVGA SuperNOVA G2 Gold Full Modular 850W
SSD = Samsung evo 850 500GB
HDD = WD 1TB Caviar Blue HDD
WIFI = Tplink TL-WDN4800 Dual Band PCI-E
CASING = Corsair Carbide SPEC Alpha Black
MONITORS (triple) = AOC Monitor LED IPS 23.8' I2481FXH BLACK x3

Estimated cost : $2090

Here are the filled components from pcpartpicker (note that the cooler H5 is unavailable there so i just inserted another).

The H5 don't fit in the case, by their specks 156mm tall CPU cooler. http://www.corsair.com/en/carbide-series-spec-alpha-mid-tower-gaming-case-black-red
Your memory is mismatched and should be bought in a matched set not 2 sets. Overkill on the power supply and that card don't have 3 X HDMI ports for the monitors. If you going to be gaming on 3 monitors you need a lot more video card but I guess you will only be gaming on 1 monitor.
More what I would get for the same PC really just changed a few items.

Hi Zerk! Thank you very much for your response and your time. Appreciate it.

I have a few questions regarding this.

1. Regarding the memory, is it okay to have 4x8 GB?
2. About the Kingston Hyperx fury vs Corsair Vengeance, is it okay to get either one in regards with performance-wise?
3. If I were to play some games (Dota 2 etc) with 3 monitors, what Graphic Card would you recommend? Is SLI a must-have?

Thanks!

1. it is OK but puts more stress on the memory controller, if you just must get 4X8GB then buy it as a 4X8GB set in one package.
2. Either would work.
3. For that game it has fairly low requirements the GTX 1060 would work but for more demanding games I would get a GTX 1070.

Thank you! I'll be getting the GIGABYTE GTX 1070 Windforce OC 8GB then.

Have a great day!
