New multi monitor build for stock trading

[Reyo]

Hi,

I'd like to build a 6 monitor computer for stock trading.

What I have in mind is:
CPU: Needs to be an Intel CPU, I've been considering i7-7800k vs i7-7820X, not sure if the 8 cores will provide better performance, also open to other suggestions.
Motherboard: Not sure, depends on the CPU I guess
RAM: 32 GB
GPU: Needs to support 6 monitors
Storage: SSD

I'd prefer not to overclock.

Budget: $2500, flexible.

My main concerns are performance and stability.

Hopefully I haven't forgotten anything.

Thanks!

Is your budget of $2500 only for the PC, or should the peripheries be included?
A HEX monitor stand costs $150 and above. 6 monitors cost another $6-800.
A i7-7820X might be an overkill. Anyway I would also get a UPS Battery and set up a back-up drive for data redundancy / recovery.
Get a special video card, such as the http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/products/graphics_cards/c-series/c680/ with 6 outputs, that will set you back with another $5-600.

CPU Intel - Core i7-7820X 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor $480
CPU Cooler Thermaltake - Frio Silent 14 71.23 CFM CPU Cooler $35
Motherboard MSI - X299 RAIDER ATX LGA2066 Motherboard $205
Memory G.Skill - Ripjaws V 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory $250
Storage Samsung - 970 Evo 500 GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive $120
Case be quiet! - Pure Base 600 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case $90
Power Supply SeaSonic - PRIME Ultra Gold 550 W 80+ Gold $92
Operating System Microsoft - Windows 10 Pro OEM 64-bit $150
Total: $1422 + GPU + backup drive + UPS

As for the monitor I would advice something with VESA mounting and slim bazels, such as the BenQ GW2470

optionally with Display port to HDMI cables https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-DisplayPort-HDMI-Cable-Feet/dp/B07D6JNLFW/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1542200884&sr=8-4&keywords=displayport%2Bto%2Bhdmi%2Bcable%2B15%2Bfeet&dpID=41gEN8XV8%252BL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch&th=1

Thanks for the reply Zoltan.

The $2500 budget is for the computer only.

Do you have any experience with Matrox GPUs?
Do you think a liquid based cooling system will help?

Thanks!

No, I haven´t used any Matrox card yet.

Yes, the CPU you choose has a high Thermal Design Power (140W), water cooling is justifiable. I would in that case recommend a 360mm AIO, such as
https://www.alphacool.com/shop/sets-systems/eisbaer/23150/alphacool-eisbaer-360-cpu-black
or
NZXT Kraken X72 https://www.nzxt.com/products/kraken-x72

The case I listed above has a newer variant
SILENT BASE 601 https://www.bequiet.com/en/case/1504
And teh Define R6 is also fitting:
