I will be building a New Computer in the very near future for gaming and for Trading Markets.
What i have decided on so far will be posted below for your examination of components and compatibility
issues as well as Better choices of components, your input and help is appreciated.
Main Reasons for the Build is for Multi-Monitor Extended Screen use with up to 6 Monitors for Gaming and
Trading Markets which require many Monitors.

Thanks in advance for your help and replies.

6 monitors for gaming? lol Your going to need a better power supply and a few $$$$ gpus to do that.

 

[Why_Me]

First off you don't need a 2600K for your needs. What you are going to need if you plan on running 6 monitors is a board with the NF200 bridge so you can run tri cards @ x8 and a psu to push three of these cards down below. Also that Antec case isn't going to cut it size wise.

So the Video card i chose want run the 6 monitors, even if i replace the PSU with the 900w you suggest?
So if it want support 6 displays , how about Only 4 ? with the suggested 900w PSU?
and if it want you are saying go with the 3 Sapphire cards with that ASRock board, well i appreciate your input and i am still in the process of learning what is Needed.
I intended to start with just 4 displays and then add the other 2 displays later.
I can see for Sure based on what you and others have said that i should Upgrade to More wattage on PSU, i agree.
if you would , get back to me on what i was asking about using the first card with 4 displays, for mainly
non game extended screen use like watching Market Charts for Trading, i know that is 2d mostly and these gaming cards might not be the best for that, but will they be ok in your opinion?

 

[Deleted member 362816]

you need to go with a eye infinity radeon card if you want to use that many monitors.

 

[optionman31601]

well after going back through my list of components i provided to you guys in my first post, i have discovered i forgot to paste the information of what Video Card i had chose for this setup, i guess i was tired and over looked that piece of hardware.
well in any case, please check out the Video Card in the first post on this thread at bottom of the list and tell me would it be also a good choice for what i needed this system for, it does have the Eyefinity 6, i just overlooked adding it to the list for the build.

 

[optionman31601]

i am considering changing some components in this system based on what you guys are recommending, and i do appreciate your time and input on this build, i was confused after reading your posts and then decided to go back through the list and examine the components to make changes, and then i noticed there was No Video Card for you to evaluate....that's bad business.

 

[Deleted member 362816]

@op its ok a 6950 would be a fine card to do this with, But if you really plane on playing a decent ammount of games on 2+ monitors I will have to steer you to a 6990😀, If not just doing normal works things a 6950 will be great for what you want to do.
