Guys,
Below is my computer build I put together this past December while I was in Iraq. I am looking at finally purchasing this computer and beginning the build. This is my first build. I will mostly use this build for trading stocks and forex. The forex program I use utilizes a lot of memory and power. I also play the occasional game so I would like it to perform when I need it to. I am looking to eventually add a second monitor to this system if possible. Please let me know your thoughts thanks.
