Hey guys, I'm planning on building a computer for serious multitasking and stock market day trading. The computer I plan to build must be able to power 3 monitors. I'm planning on using these components:


-AMD Phenom II X4 955 - 3.2 GHz Quad-Core Processor black series. (will overclock to 4.o GHz)

-Asus M4A79XTD Evo motherboard

-Radeon HD 5670 graphics card


If anyone can share insight on these components as well as offer advice or recommendations I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks guys :)


and one more question: what exactly is C2 restriction?

please remember that this is a budget build, If I had the cash I would go i5 2500k in a heartbeat :D

I would go with this card for three monitors. everything you need for 3 DVI monitors is in the box

SAPPHIRE FleX 100289FLEX Radeon HD 5670 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card with Eyefinity

$99

try to budget a small SSD drive like the crucial M4 64GB for speed.

I also would go with a AM3+ MB for future upgrading in not then a AM3 MB that has SATA 6GB and USB 3.0
