I am looking for a new computer for my home office. I am a trader that works out of my home and need a system with 4 monitors. I have done some research and figured out that I need a system with 2 video cards in order to have a 4 monitor setup. My first question is processor. I am impressed with the Intel I7-3930K because of its high benchmark (13,429) but don't know if I will ever be tapping all that power since I am not a gamer. I know the It-2700K is a much better bang for the buck (benchmark of 9,447), but I spend 8-20 hours a day in front of my computer and if I can save some time, I am willing to spend the additional money on the 3930. I am also thinking of using the computer as a media center computer. The plan would be to get a 4 tuner card and record movies and shows that I can wirelessly stream through my house to various TV's utilizing windows extenders. I don't know if the processor will make a difference with this either.
I have priced out two computers on I Buy Power, a I7-3930K for $1,636 plus shipping and a similar system with the I7-2700K for $1,223 plus shipping. Both have duel AMD Radeon HD 6750 cards. I have no idea if this is the best card for the money with what I want to do.
I will use various monitors from my current computer setup.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, especially regarding the processor and video cards.
