Desktop from Amazon Prime for trading setup

Much appreciate your help in advance - if you were limited to Priming a desktop/station, what would it be? I just transitioned into trading full-time and am running two monitors off of my surface pro 3 (with the new dock, HDMI to Mini DP connections), but know I need to upgrade due to memory and CPU issues (currently 3.9GB & 1.49ghz, respectively). I'm looking for something at least 8gb and 3.5ghz with Windows 10 and the capability to run 4 monitors without having to open up the unit and add in video cards, etc. I'm fine with purchasing an additional splitter/adapter for more VGA/other monitor connections, though.

I was close to buying a gaming computer but stumbled upon a thread here that said a lot of what you're paying for is overkill as it relates to trading - 3d capabilities, etc. Would love to hear what you seasoned vets recommend.

I currently have two HP Pavillion 22xw monitors and am very happy with them, planning to purchase two more. Thanks!

Thank you both for the input - that monitor looks very slick but is way out of my budget. I looked into the Intel Nuc and am intrigued by the concept of mini-desktops.

It looks as though the Intel Nuc and the HP Mini desktop models both have the mini displayport connections, which I believe means that you could connect a MST hub for 4 monitors, as long as they are max 1920 x 1080 - am I correct in assuming this?
 
The place to go now is mytechcompass.com I used many custom build sites in my years as a trader and they were the best and cheapest at setting up and building my trading computer. Def beats out all the other trading computer companies. Hopefully can save you some money
 
I don't know but if all you need is something like ability to trade with 6 monitors you really can do something like 6 monitors setup with some old Radeon 6950 or something like that with Xeon processor and something similar really. Good luck.
