Building a new PC for my father and looking for any ideas or tips you guys can add. Disregard the total listed on partpicker as im reusing some of the items. real total is like $845
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Stock Trading
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
$900 shipped
3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible.
US 83201
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. The word "Everything" is not a valid answer. Please list out all the parts you'll need.

5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
Reusing the Video card, PSU, Case and cpu cooler
6) Will you be overclocking?
its not planned
7) What is the max resolution of your monitor? What size is it?
Looking to start with 2 standard 1080p monitors around 22-24" might add 3rd down road
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
within the next week
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? USB 3.0? SATA 6Gb/s? eSATA? Onboard video (as a backup or main GPU)? UEFI? etc.
Nothing fancy
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If so, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit?
Win 7 64bit
