This is my dream system I am nearly 50 % complete buying parts for it. I'd like to finish putting it together by Dec 1st. I think most of you will think some areas like memory and the PSU are overkill. You must understand that I do a whole lot more then play games on my systems. I trade professionally and need every second extra of speed for drawing charts out at a moments notice on a four monitor set-up. I often have 100 browser tabs or more open as I do research, and currently my system freezes up too often when multi-tasking. This new system needs to be fluid with absolutely no chance of freezing up whilst in the middle of a potential trade. The PSU is up there because I will be getting a second GPU and will undoubtedly have many HD's in this box in the future. I used an online watt calculator and I will be using a 1000 watts minimum when all is said and done. Please tell me where you would make a change to add to something else. Thanks for your thoughts.
