You may want to check out this card with the extra ram, the version I have may not be fast enough for gaming but the one with the faster ram is said to be ok in the reviews...
You need an operating system, network card, back-up hard drive and probably aftermarket backup software / anti-virus.
Using a P67 chipset Sandy bridge processer and SSD the only excuse to go with the ASUS P8Z77-V is their auto overclock function has gotten good reviews and if a great ivy bridge processer comes out later you can upgrade. There will be vid tutorials on youtube.
256GB won’t store a bunch of games. DDR3 1600 MHz RAM with a latency of 8 or 9, Install CPU-Z and prime95.
Liquid metal thermal pastes work best but you will have to lap the cooling equipment to change processers. Prolimatech PK1 or Phobya HeGrease work and you can clean them with 95-99% rubbing alcohol and coffee filters.
Find a store near you to see the differences of monitors in person.
LCD vs LED
1920x1080 vs 1920x1200
ISP vs TN
21.5, 23 or 24 inches
Even cut out 6 times 24 on card board and put it on your desk to see how much space 6 x 24 really is to sit, analyze and trade from (it’s a lot). Search the site for multi monitor info.
If you start out slow with 2 monitors you can add more later and pick a stand then if you need it.
Now you’re all set to lose a few grand like I did today. Thanks for the distraction. Where are new i7 2700K’s or 2600K’s selling for $220?
The only reason I'm aiming to get 6 monitors is that my current four monitors are already being used for the stock market and the 2 new monitors will be strictly for futures.
