Parts Preferences: Best GPU for my buck and coding, Need 2, 24 inch monitors thinking Dell UltraSharp U2412M 24" LED LCD Monitor - 16:10 - 8 ms from amazon? $275.00 each. Solid state or normal HD?

Additional Comments: Want it to be quiet, could not care less about the case or how it looks.

I was going to go with a dell -- Purchased over 3 desktops from them never ever had a problem over the years and that's 1 of the reasons i paid the dell surcharge. They have since changed so you can't really pick your parts anymore. Its whatever they want to give you or nothing so im here.

My current computer is about 2-3 years old, i5, 760 @ 2.80GHz, 8 GB ram, 1TB RAID 0 NVidia GeForce 310....replacing it because its just tired and and i want to upgrade.

Thank you for your time.

Splendid
You want an i7 for your intensive coding/debugging (i7-4770?) and the GPU depends on what CAD software you use. Oh, and plenty of RAM (16GB?)

The Dell monitors look like a good choice.

I would go with SSD for boot and software and a larger HDD for storage.


Hopefully someone else has more time to recommend actual parts, sorry I've not got more time!

Coding and running applications that need to be as fast as possible @mi1ez. I think Madn3ss795 nailed it on the head with that only thing is i'm going to pick the i7-4770K 3.5GHz only cause its only like $30 more and i'm going to get the original monitors i picked which are a little more but the latest models. I know you picked that because of the budget.

Thank you guys for all the help if anyone wants to add anything else or comment please feel free i have decided to push back the purchase date to this Monday so we still got time.

Parts are in....was on vacation for a week so this was nice to see when i got back.
 
I think you should:

1/Rotate 212 EVO by 90 degrees to the left ( to make use of exhaust fan at the case's rear )
2/hide all those cables :p Here's a quick tip: hide all of them behind motherboard tray through the hole next to the PSU. Then pick power cables that need to be connected to your case and route them through the holes next to the motherboard. For unused cables, if the space behind mobo tray can't hold all of them, route big ones to 3.5" HDD cage area.
