Trading computer build questions

[jeffhennen]

Hello, I am building a computer that is going to be used for day trading with 12 monitors and looking for some help with determining the components needed for this beast.   

 

I am going to have a budget of about 1300-1400 dollars and maybe a bit above.  It is going to be running 12 1080p monitors

2 cheap graphics cards will do it for that. a couple gtx 1050s or a few gt 1030s and run some displays off the motherboard, all you'll need is an i3 at most to handle whatever software you need, but it sounds ram intensive. 16gb is recommended.

Do you have the monitors already? That's really a lot.

 

Are you constrained by a budget? 

[jeffhennen]

No, i dont have anything yet for this. At this point i am not worring about any budget but i dont want to really spend more than what is needed.

Although, do keep in mind. I do want this to last me for a long time and not have to upgrade this at a later date to continue.2

Why give with the quadro when a 1050 is even less? Or just the 1030?

I feel like this the post that you are quoting isn't a very good one since i dont think the motherboard is able to even support another Video Card in it to support the 12 Monitors that i am wanting to run unless i am mistaken

Because the Quadro has four display ports and is single slot.

My mistake, I thought I had selected a motherboard with 2x16 PCIe 3.0 and 1x16 PCIe 2.0. I have corrected the build.

 

In thinking on it, perhaps you are willing to spend more and go with something like the following that will easily handle up to seven single slot gpu.
