  3. I'd be glad if it come to anything close to yours. Items remaining:

    - GPU: (Btw, i'm thinking of getting 2 for now, unless it's paramount that I get all 3 now). What was the reason about buying the same make/GPU?. Worst case scenarion, could I get away with something similar/better later on (if and when I need it)?. I have firmly decided on: http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-nVidia-G...I3C4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1312397867&sr=8-1 , but am hoping the price will come down a little in the next few days.

    - Power supply: Struggling on wheather to get 750W or 850W (may be running 3 x GPU)

    - HHD: I have decided to go with HHD, rather than SSD, due to the price not offsetting the benefits.

    - Fan/cooler: The CPU comes with a fan and I think that should be sufficient, since I have no intentions of overclocking (I'll leave that to you smart guys :p)

    - Case: With 2/3 GPU and higher than normal height RAM, would you go for a mid size or full size?. I have not looked into the casing, so input is appreciated.

    As for my monitors, I picked these up (x4) on eBay (whilst Boli wasn't paying attention :D) for ~$100 each (free shipping). They say they are refurbished, but the packaging looked like it hadn't been opened before. 21.5" HD

    For what I do, agreed completely on the HDD vs. SSD and the price difference.

    Good buy on those monitors!:)

    I'm a performance only RIA. I position and swing trade for Client accounts.

    The setup I'm going to be using at home is going to be close to what I use at the office, and lets me "momick" being at the office if I need to be at home during the week. But no, I'm trading mainly Fx at home for my own acount. Night and day difference in trading. I posted earlier in the thread what I monitor. Numerous tf's, numerous range, numerous tick, volume, etc.,

  10. It's going to be a mad rig !
    Same drivers for all cards keeps it simple. Same image quality as long as screens are the same.
    Image quality/ performance can stand out some when a card does not run as well one you are happy with. ( if specs differ )

    power consumption.
    newegg power specs here...
    also find the individual power spec per card for additional ones to add

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130395

    System Requirements
    Minimum of a 350 Watt power supply.
    (Minimum recommended power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 18 Amp Amps.)
    Minimum 400 Watt for SLI mode system.
    (Minimum recommended power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 22 Amp Amps.)
