Don't lose sleep over it. Just get the 850W if you are not sure. Difference in $20 maybe? :)

Well... my "rule of thumb" is alway just eye-ball the size of the heat sink. Yes size matters! LOL... The bigger the heat sink (tiki...), the more power the card consumes. After all, the heat has to come from somewhere! :D

Yap you've got it. Wall-Mount 75 x 75mm VESA Mount Standard Attachment for bracket that enables a monitor to hang on the wall and pivot or tilt for optimal positioning. http://www.samsung.com/us/computer/monitors/LS22PTNSF/ZA-specs

Okay. I see. In layman's terms, SLI is a mechanism that links two or more video cards together to produce a single output. It is parallel processing of sort. The typical application is in video games. To use SLI, they use some ribbon cables to connect multiple video cards together (thus you...

Are you planning to use your box for some video games too? (I didn't see that coming...) I presume you know what SLI is, right?

My Box #1 uses a mix of 2 GeForce 8400 GS cards and 1 GeForce 9400 GT card. They work okay together. To mix and match, you will have better luck having the cards from the same make. The best is have the graphic chips of the same series (e.g. 9400 and 9500). If not, at least the same family...

I am no expert. It looks like a Samsung SyncMaster 2233SW 21.5 inch LCD monitor? I love Samsung monitors. Their colors and contrasts are the best from what I have seen. I have a few 2243SWX and 2343BWX. With a 21.5 inch providing resolution of 1920 x 1080... that is great! Especially for...

On the other hand... Trade Alert: Bolimomo is SHORT on Dell, HP, IBM, Apple, Gateway and all box makers! LOL :D

I think you have me confused with someone else... I have never used a NVS card in my life. LOL :D

Well I am trying to gauge the level of disk activities. If you look at the specs of a SSD... let me take Intel X25-M model SSDSA2MH080G1 for example: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820167005 The drive is capable of Sustained Sequential Read Up to 250MB/sec...

I suggest that you do a little snap-shot measure of your actual situation before deciding. Everybody trades differently, has different chart setups and different data requirements. There is a Resource Monitor utility in Windows 7. (Can't recall if they are available in Vista or XP). If you...

Those MoBo makers spaced out the PCIe X16 slots for good reasons. :D

Naturally the next step is on to the chassis and power supply. Disk drives are quite generic. You can go with whichever you like (capacity, speed, physical dimension, interface). Your MoBo has a mATX form factor. It will fit on to a chassis that is designed for ATX (just 2-inches narrower...

I don't see any reason why they wouldn't fit. Per the EVGA specs and the pictures, each card conforms to 1 card width with the heat sink and fan. They should be all right. http://www.evga.com/PRODUCTS/enlarge.asp?PN=01G-P3-N959-TR&I=5 If I strictly use this box for trading (2D charts) I...

Have you firmed up on the other components?

This processor and MoBo bundle looks like a really good deal!

When you are in Windows' Control Panel, Display Manager... did you see 2 rectangular icons (labelled 1 and 2), or 3 rectangular icons (1, 2 and 3)? How are your two external monitors connected? VGA? DVI? HDMI? DisplayPort? Also... try to find out what graphic adapter they use on your...

If you think you are going to get a third card sometime for sure, then I would recommend getting it now. $39.99 is a good price. It will save you the hassle of having to shop for a compatible one and test it if you can no longer find this model. (But do test all three of them immediately as...

You can certainly do 4GB. But I think for the extra $25 or so, I would beef it up to 8 GB. More memory is always better. Especially with Win 7. 4 GB may be marginal expecially if you use their default visual schemes (need extra CPU power and memory to support), or a lot of apps running, or...

I have the same thought as Tiki. And I don't have any experience with it. Perhaps Google for some CrystalDiskMark performance metric on the disk drive (read/write speed stuff) before you decide. At any rate, looks like if you want this model you can get it at Newegg for $100 instead...
