    I've built pc's for over 10 years. All I can say is, that system is a complete over kill. Another thing is, don't trade n game on one machine, gaming always likes new drivers, software, which can be unstable and mess up ur trading systems. Here's what I recommend. Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4Ghz...

    Taking 76K to 500K by Year End

    I'd take the trade if it was a day trade, if it was month long hold I'd say no thanks. +20 or -10 at 50/50 chance is something I'm willing to bet at, but only with 12.5% of my account for that position, at 10% loss, it translates to 1.25% of my whole account. so 50% chance of going down 1.25%...
