New System, need some help??

[jktrader]

What suggestions do have for me, he's my deal. I'm a day trader and want a new system but unsure of what to have built. This is not for gaming but I want something fast and sweet and can handle several trading chat rooms, multiple IM's, 2 webconferenced trading terminals via master traders, live news wire, and my direct access trading system. Oh, I have 4 monitors but may want ot upgrade to 6 or have a 30" w/ 2-20" flanked in portrait mode .

This si what I'm thinking
P5K64-WS(4 pcie slots)Q6600 or should wait for 45nm 94(95)50
4-8GB ram
O/S vista64
Video card??

Do you really need a quad core? I just don't see most of these kinds of applications being too much for a dual core to handle. Maybe I'm wrong though, as I don't know how taxing each is on the CPU.

If he wants to run all those programs, he'll want a quad.
