I am looking to make an investment in a new day trading desktop setup. My budget is $3000 (excluding the monitors). I want to be able to run three 4k resolution 28in monitors. I will be using it to run multiple charts open running real-time quotes and multiple tabs open all running at once. I want incredible speed and reliability. I am thinking the following:

What do you guys think?

-Intel Core i7-6700K Skylake Processor 4.0GHz
-32GB DDR4 2400 RAM
-GeForce GTX 980TI 6gb video card
-ASUS MAXIMUS VIII series motherboard
-750W power supply
-Corsair H55 water cooler
- 2TB 7200rpm hard drive

You don't really need a 980ti of you aren't gaming, a GTX 950 can run 3 4k displays for day trading. If you want to increased speed you should get a fast SSD for the OS to run on. If you want reliable I'd get an air cooler rather than an AIO as an AIO just adds to the number of possible failure points. This will do what you for a hell of alot less than $3000.
