I haven't built a rig since 2004 or 2005 so excuse me for being so out of the loop.
I need a new machine for trading. I will be buying 3 monitors so I will need a video card that can support that.
I'm looking at picking up:
CPU- Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz 6MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W
Mobo- ASUS P5Q LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard
RAM- mushkin 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
Hard Drive- 74GB Raptor or SSD?
Not sure on monitors (3 19 inch ones would be nice) or a video card. Also any recommendations on a power supply and case?
I would also buy a decent set of speakers. I like to listen to music while trading.
I want to keep this under $2,500 for the entire package. I will only be trading on this machine, using all 3 monitors at once, running Thinkorswim (I trade futures.)
Thanks for any and all advice.
