Tiki, looks like they sold out on that deal, so the cheapest I can get it for now is $50. Hence, comparable may help if you happen to see anything that catches the eye.

NVIDIA GT9500. Tiki, nice video. That's the GPU I'm looking at for now. It's about $40-50 and seems like it'll more than do the job. Would you settle for this or is there something similar out there for a better price? Amazing how prices on these drop so fast; it used to be about $120 when...

Tiki, I got it. However, for me, this is the thorn in the back. I think I'll need your expertise on the GPU (and the casing). Thanks again for a great thread; it's coming in really helpful :)

Boli, I've stated in the last few pages at what I'm looking at. I was pretty firm on the CPU, mobo and the RAM. I have purchased the CPU and mobo, but if you have Amy suggestion for any of the other components, I very open to suggestions (esp. if there's a good deal going:) )

The i5 2500 was actually more expensive than the i5 2500k, so it was an easy choice. Only if life was like this more often :p

I got the mobo and CPU. I have a friend picking it up for me. Guys, thanks for posting that deal. It saved me about $75. <img src="http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=3254248.png">

I am so hooked on this deal, but it's an instore pick-up (nearest store is in GA). I have to call them to see if they will mail it out for a small fee (free would be nice :p ). I have tried Amazon for a price match, but they can't do it on this item. Do you guys know anywhere that does...

I'm not sure, though it says DDR2. Is that a bad thing :eek: ?

For now, this is what I have. I still have not decided on the power supply, fan etc. Suggestions are welcomed. In regards to the power supply, would 850W be overkill. I thought i'd go for 850W, just incase I did end up running all 6 monitors (3 GPUs). Guys, once again, thanks for posting...

JFYI: <img src="http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=3253580.png"> I saw this video card where 1 connection splits 4 ways, so really, one card would be able to run 4 monitor and two cards would run 8!!!

Video card: <img src="http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=3253575.png"> I would get two of these initially. Do you think it's better to just get two for now and then buy another if needed later?. These cards have another $10 OFF, so I could get it for $39.99/card...

Hard drive (the cheaper option): <img src="http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=3253572.png"> The above is a 2TB. The one I would get is a 500GB for $34.99.

Hard drive (Hybrid): <img src="http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=3253570.png"> I found this hard drive which is a hybrid. The only company that makes this is Seagate. It is 500GB SATA (7200 rpm) + 4GB SSD. It's a little pricey, but if it makes a difference than I...

RAM: <img src="http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=3253568.png"> Once again, I will be getting 2x4GB, BUT can I get away with 1x4GB?

Processor: <img src="http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=3253558.png"> Firstly, that $179 deal is amazing!!!. Thanks for that. Secondly, the i5 2500 seems to be $30 cheaper than i5 2500k. I'm not planning to overclock for 2 reasons. 1) I'm not IT savvy enough to...

Wow!!!. Man, you guys mean some serious business. I went out for dinner and when I get back, there's all this info. Great stuff!. The following is what I have decided on. Any advice is appreciated. Motherboard: <img...

I have been trying to have a new build for the last two weeks and initially it seemed like all I had to do was pick the parts, put them together and BHAM!!!. However, since I started researching parts, it's made it a little more complicated. Did I mention I suffer from OCD :p . Anyway, I...

How does Lightspeed process it's data?. Do you think an SSD may help make it work faster? SM

The following is my trading background. I have traded for the last three years, but have only been consistent since the start of 2011. My work schedule allow me to trade (almost) full time; I trade the morning session one week and full days the next, which means I will post more on my full...

Hi Kon et al, I have been busy digging in to this big hole of the trading world. I was going to take a small break, so I could "catch up", but discovered that the more I dig this trading hole, the deeper it gets. I am still learning from the very many good and generous traders here (esp...
