Right I've got a friend who is a trader and manages stocks, etc.
He wants a top top end pc specced up so he can see how much it would cost him to buy it. As it stands budget isn't really an issue ...well until I tell him what it's going to cost lol.
Few pointers...
1. Need decent case size
2. Need OS
3. Need keyboard
4. Need mouse
5. Need gpu able to run 3 x 24" monitors - not really for gaming this machine but needs plenty of grunt to last a few years
6. Need 16 gig of the fastest RAM that can be slotted into the mobo
7. Need decent cooling but liquid not an option....big air would be ideal but then the case needs to help out there too
8. Need option to put 2 SSD's in RAID for holding his trading software etc...Can I get a single normal SSD to run the OS and have 2 x SSD's to run main software? I guess 512k ssd in RAID would suffice? Am I right in looking at RAID 1 for redundancy options?
9. I'm thinking that a 6 core Sandy E or Ivybridge would be ideal for CPU?
10. Need 3 decent 24" monitors
11. Need HIGH END wireless option too for him to stream MP4's to his AV in his living room
When I hear more tech specs or things are he deffo needs...I'll post them up....fire away
