Approximate Purchase Date: within 30 days
Budget Range: I am willing to spend what I need to as this is my job, however id prefer under $1000 as I do not need anything extravagant..
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Watching charts(charts take up about 2 gigs of ram on my current i7 870 comp), Internet(email, watching live news such as CNN or bloomberg), microsoft word/excel/powerpoint
Parts Not Required: Keyboard, mouse
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg, amazon(since I have the student thing that gives me free 2 day shopping), superbiz, im open to pretty much any trusted website.
Country of Origin: USA
Parts Preferences: by brand or type: I have always been partial to INTEL over AMD however if someone can tell my why it may be a better choice I am open to it.
Overclocking: No (unless someone can tell me why it would be a good thing to O.C a machine for what I need to do)
SLI or Crossfire: Someone told me that this is required to have 3 monitors or more.. I am very unsure what this really is so I will leave that up to the communities digression
Monitor Resolution: I run my current computer on 1920x1080 x 2 monitors(extended not mirrored)
Additional Comments: Windows 7 is going to be my OS no questions. I need to be able to hookup 3 + monitors(i need atleast 2 to start so if there are any good deals currently.. Also if the monitors cant be included for under 1000 its not a problem.)
I am going to use this section to go a bit more indepth for what I am looking for. Hopefully this will help anyone, who is here to try and help me, understand what I want.
Currently I own a Intel i7 870 with an nvidia 275 GTX 1gb card, 8 gigs of ram, windows 7 x64 etc etc. Nothing special but back when windows 7 came out i7s were new and this was pretty high up there from what I remember.
Anyway the point is that right now I run my trading platform and play WoW or Rift and it maxes out my ram (which until today was 4 gb.. now with 8 I don't think it will max out anymore). Anyway I trade currencies for a living, as well as follow stocks/equities/etc. I need to eventually have 3-4 monitors but I am ok with 2 for now as that is what I currently use. For some reason I seem to think I can get what I want minus the monitors for around 5-600, am I being naive?
Anyway I would really appreciate any help or builds.
