Building a PC for the boss to be used for trading and general office tasks, does this build seem good or am I overdoing it on any parts? Any problems with this set of parts? And would I be better off just getting a pre-made system? He requested certain minimum stats: i5/i7 2MHz, 500GB drive, 8GB ram, dual monitor setup, windows 7. He did not give a budget limit, so I want it to be nice and fast for his purposes but not overpriced. Thanks guys.

Perhaps I should just get something like this and stick 4 more GB of ram in it?

trading, office pc for multipe screens doesnt require much performance.
a ssd would be the best performance boost.
