Just saw that you already have some great parts which you can salvage from your old computer if you want to build a new one. If you're not interested in getting a pc then you can just change the cpu, motherboard and gpu.

For 1 monitor, this build is enough, if you want to make a 3screen setup, get a second hd 7970
