Hello all,
I've been doing research on coming up with a PC that will be best suited for my needs and I don't quite understand the hardware specs I should be looking for. The only thing I want to do with this computer is to trade and do homework for school. I was looking at recommended builds for office PCs and I'm guessing that this build would work well.
CPU: Intel i3 3220 ($125)
Power Supply: Corsair Builder CX500 500W 80 Plus Bronze ($37.99)
Optical Drive: Lite On DVD Burner ($17.99)
Boot Drive SSD: OCZ Vertex 4 VTX4-25SAT3-128G 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC ($74.99)
Storage Drive HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB ($59.99)
Motherboard: ASUS P8H77-V ATX Motherboard ($115.99)
RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 Low-Profile ($39.99)
Internal Card Reader: BYTECC U2CR-318/Hub 52-in-1 USB 2.0 Card Reader ($7.49)
The only difference that I would make is to get a video card(s) that can support up to 6 monitors. Can anyone explain why this would or would not work effectively for my needs? I'm not looking for any bells and whistles to save on the cost.
Overall, I'm looking to spend about $1,000 on hardware which is to include monitors (of which I'll probably start with 4).
Thanks!
