I trade for a living and usually have about 4-5 trading apps open at once. This is also along with a game usually open but not always being played atm. Trading can get slow so I tend to play while I work. Im currently running a Dell 24" and 30" monitor on one system but plan on upgrading to the Predator or similar monitor in the near future. When I do upgrade to the Predator I will also keep the 30" active on the same system. Id like to know if the one 980 Ti can support the future Predator monitor. Im aware that I might have to add an additional card to support the extra 30" though it would be nice if the 980 Ti could support both.
A couple of things, Iv heard that M.2 is faster then the standard 2.5" SSDs which is why I picked it but it's not a necessity. Iv also heard mixed signals regarding ASrock mobos, Iv never used them before and just picked the best rated one on newegg so Im open to other options. Iv almost always stuck with Asus mobos. Im also not sure if I should be looking at skylack cpus but thought that for a pc Ill have for a while, it might be best to take advantage of multiple cores. Specially given that future games will take better advantage over them. Lastly my current system has 16GB of ram and felt the price was worth just paying that little extra for an additional 32 but again it's not a necessity but it also doesn't save that much cutting it back down to 16.
Just looking for the best options for my price range and to make sure I can get the most out of what ever I get. Thanks for any help.
