I'm almost there. So now I think I have the GPU and power supply pinned down. I spoke to Corsair and the tech guys thought with that 500-600W should be sufficient, since the maximum output the GPU has is 55W/card, so 3 should have no more than 100W. Addd on the HHD, optical drives, processor...

I think I might have given the wrong model. My model is Samsung B2230 NOT B2230HD :eek: . Thanks for pointing that out. However, here are the specs for the monitors I have. http://reviews.cnet.com/lcd-monitors/samsung-syncmaster-b2230-lcd/4507-3174_7-34046948.html

Tiki, what do you think of the cards above (Zotac GeForce GT220)?

I found another option for GPUs. If I get 3, with the rebate and all, it'll cost me a total of ~$100 (after tax and shipping). Does anyone have any experience with these cards. It will mainly be for trading. Occasionally, I will stream content from the web in HD. Will this suffice...

Does anyone know of comparable GPUs (EVGA 9500GT), that may have 3 outputs, maybe 2xDVI and 1X VGA @ around $50-75. Maybe I can get away with 2 cards instead of 3 :confused: Note: The monitor I have does not have HDMI input.

Good morning guys. This is what I found along some research: "You can connect 2 or 3 video cards together that have the same/ identical specifications which would combine the 3 video cards together and give way much higher performance than 3 single video cards. You can almost expect 3 times...

Good info. though. Thanks for posting.

Minus 1 bottle of ice cold Corona for making me spend extra :p . I can handle $20 for that peace of mind. I've decided on Corsair. Thanks for all the help buddy

Makes more sense Boli. I thought the process of having more than one GPU on a mobo for running multiple monitors was more the idea. Thanks for that little bit of education. I'll add another bottle of Corona in your ice cold barrel :D

:D :D :D Tetris for me is high volatility! I am not a gamer and won't be gaming on this. Guess I have SLI mode confused with something else. I didn't see that coming either :embarrassed::confused:

I will be running this in SLI mode. Hence, I will require 350W (in my case) for the 1st card; each additional card requires 50W. The total I will need for 3 cards will be 450W. I'm still debating on whether to get the 750W or 850W :confused:

Too late for that, since I don't want to get into the returning process. I hope it's otherwise. If not, then I'll just line them up next to each other. The model # is Samsung 2230HD. Will I be able to mount these?:confused:

Lol!. Rebates suck!!!. However, these were $49.99 last week; $39.99 with rebate, but I was snoozing :mad:

Is your trading style similar LEAPup?

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...

Memory: Checked! Got a decent price on the RAM after having done some thorough research. It's compatible with Intel and AMD. The price for 2 sticks: $64.99 (no tax, free shipping). <img src="http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=3256915.png">

I think Boli is still buying and still long. The prices on eBay are higher than yesterday, despite SPY taking such a beating. Boli, did you get this stock tip from our buddy, Jimmy Cramer? :D

After some research, I have decided to go with HDD, as it is better value for the money. The SSD would be a fraction faster, not enough to interfere with my trading, and surely not justifiable to pay for. In time it will get cheaper and maybe with some new technology, it may be worth buying...

I would love to have this, but it would surely throw me off budget. Also, how bad a bottle neck do you think it would create?. Would I notice the difference?

I checked out the EVGA 8400GS and it seems like it would do the job, but I would like to have just a little more oomph. I missed that $39.99 deal, so I'm going to start searching again. Also, I tend to prefer nVidia; is there anything comparable in terms of performance and price? Boli, I...
