@ Bolimomo, i checked your build you posted, and i am going to pursue either the NVS or GT 8400 cards, i also would like to keep my build in that dollar range excluding monitors & OS.
This is the first time i seen your build and it looks Good.
a work in Progress for me as far as figuring all the components, but i am getting there Thanks to everyone's input on this thread.

I think you meant the "8400 GS" card.

They have an 8500 GT and 8600 GT and 8600 GTS... all are slightly higher-end than 8400 GS but for our trading, any one in this series will work okay. (Popular ones are 8400 GS and 8600 GT)

You know... we are traders not graphics designers. We use our monitors to display candlestick charts with primary colors most of the time, or Level-2, or a DOM, or even volume profile. We are not looking at JLo's face close up. VGA doesn't make that much difference from DVI. If you have the new technology (DVI), go for it. But not a big deal, really. Most of my monitors are both VGA/DVI capable. But I am lazy I use VGA cables for most of them. Even when I have the monitors showing some hi-res nature scene pictures, I couldn't tell the difference which one is DVI which one is VGA.
 
@ Bolimomo, your right...i meant to say GS 8400 .
i have been looking at so many different cards today i get mixed up at times....i was checking in on GTS 240..GT 240...GT 340...GT 430...HD 5670...HD 6570....HD 4830...GS 8400...HD 6450,
I got mixed up abit, but you helped me in narrowing down my choices.
 
....:D ...i got you...i am currently set up with vga on my Dell GX620,
i only have a 20" monitor at the time, so thats why i would like to have this new build sometime in the near future, as i just cannot keep an eye on everything efficiently with only one display.
i have actually reduced down to only watching 2 markets because of this, i have tried to watch more but it's to much for the one display.
 
i do have a good source i located on ebay for the NVS 295 card,
item says NEW for $ 45 with 2 adaptors...free shipping....one of the top sellers in this type of components.

That's an OK price. You can sometimes do better, but how much do you want to screw around to try and save $10?
 
Gosh... you all penny pinchers make me sick!

You should all go out to buy 3 of these video cards. Your trading is on the line! No cutting corner here. You need to spend money to make money!
