Hello, I just bought this through my computer insurance company (so it cost me 0 dollars). My spending limit was $750 and I had to use Tiger Direct. This was the best I could find for the price. I was unable to beat the price of the barebones kit by buying parts separately.
I understand it only has an integrated graphics card. It WILL support 2 monitors as it has a VGA and DVI out, but I will add on another graphics card to support more.
Other than the graphics card, how does this system look for trading?
The only way I see that I can increase speed is through a SSD drive, but I feel I'll need more than 200 GB. I AM thinking of buying a SSD drive to add to the system from which I can run my trading software?
If I did add a SSD drive, how could I exactly utilize it to effect the speed of my trading. Windows will be installed on the non-SSD drive.
Is 8 GB RAM enough? It sounds like plenty to me....
Thanks.
