Solidworks/Stock Trading Computer 1000$-2000$

Approximate Purchase Date: This week

Budget Range:$1000 - $2000

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Solidworks, Stock Trading

Parts Not Required:Keyboard, Mouse, Monitors

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg, Amazon

Country of Origin: United States

Parts Preferences: None

Overclocking: Maybe

SLI or Crossfire: I have no idea what this is, if it helps yes lol

Monitor Resolution: 1920x1200

Additional Comments: In Solidworks I wont be doing any large assemblies, but I may get into simulation and photoview 360 once in a while however time to simulate or render isn't a big deal to me. As far as Stock Trading goes, I think i'm going to have good enough specs everywhere that it's covered, but I would like it to be capable of 4 monitors or even more but i'm only going to hookup 4 right now.
Any help on this subject would be really appreciated, since I've seen topics for solidworks and stock trading seperately but never together. Thanks alot!

Great info been looking up all those parts. One question though, were you assuming I needed 4 monitors still? Because I already have the monitors I'm looking to build the computer between 1000$ and 2000$ by itself so if theres any upgrades that'd be beneficial would be cool? Thanks for the quick reply!

http://www.tomshardware.com/charts [...] e,123.html Pick your graphics card according to how much you want to spend additionally.

$350 - $1340 total for graphics represents how much you have to play with, or $175 - $670 each card if you twin them.

Is it possible to combine seperate Graphics cards? How do I know that Solidworks would use my beast Graphics Card vs the cheapo when modeling or rendering etc... Also just for reference I'm not into gaming at all lol, apart from the internet this is gonan be dedicated to solidworks and Trade Station. Thanks guys

Here is a list of benchmarks for SolidWorks from lots of users with different system configurations. This may help you pick out the best card for that budget.

For stocks, any good mid-range card will do. Just don't get those sub $100 types because they're too weak to
drive two 1080 monitors. Had a client who wants to run 4 screens and he bought a cheap $50 card.
Hooked it up and that thing because of Win7 as everything now runs in "3D" ( the reason why you get Aero Flip)
that crap card can't even run two screens at 1024x768! Dragging a window from one screen to the next, lagged like hell!
