Since your card is PCI express.. if there is a port for it yes it will work.

 

Its the bridging which you have to be concerned about ( if you want to pair them up and have the same card with SLI as example)

The card you have is two rows high, looks like it could fit, but the mobo does not have 2 PCI Express x 16 slots, so not 100% if it will fit:

 

Don't know if you have a Best Buy close by, the salespeople might be able to help out with the components, this pc looks like a newer model of the newegg one:

Also Windows 8 is coming out later this year and I think next month they will be giving a discount for computers bought in that date to get a cheap Win 8 upgrade. 

 

Thank you again, very thankful.  Cause I have no clue what I am doing with this stuff honestly.  If it is not plug and play...that is a problem haha.  

 

I will probably just buy that computer and if the video card I currently have doesn't work, I will get that one you suggested earlier (if that would work for this one too for 3+ monitors)

 

I would love to wait a little bit to purchase it for Win 8, but my current desktop just started crashing on me after I said it ran relatively well lol, so I think it is time.

It doesn't mean squat if you're going to use one card.

Its in reference to if you want to PAIR up the cards you buy.. some can be linked to run as ONE (SLI nvivida or crossfire amd).. ya know multiples ran as one card.

(yours cant.. but if you wanted to run the same cardS and they have linking capability you could -- if you were to buy new cards)

 

Or you can run 2 different ones.. just not linked which is what i think you were asking..

 

If you want to use the same card you have now.. in the new system. (1 card) you can.

Looks like it should fit. Keep in mind, you'll get maximum of four video outputs with this computer and your existing video card. Maybe five if you have VGA monitors, and if the onboard video can be used as dual output. I personally usually try to get a mid-to-full tower case just so I wouldn't have physical fitting issues, and a motherboard with more than one PCIexpress outputs so I could attach more video cards when I get the interest. Then again, everything I have is what I put together myself piece by piece. My two pennies.

 

EDIT: What I said is true based on this computer: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883157158

and this video card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102960

 

EDIT: ANother note, that PC takes a MAX of 8GB ram, somethign to be wary about.

Good money management technique will be to set targets, and withdraw to secure capital just in case of the worst.

 

Start with 3500. Maybe have a target of 15k or even 30k. When you reach your target take out 5 - 10k and place it in a savings account or somewhere save to sit back on. build up to another target maybe 50k or so, take out some more and place it somewhere safe.

 

I learned this method of money management from a high level investor who's made millions in the market. It's common sense. But it's pure genius. SECURE YOUR MONEY! Just a thought buddy. I'm 19, started at 18 and have just over $100k starting with $12k. I run mainly credit spreads, and occasionally I'll run a few calls, and puts for large gains.

 

Keep up the good work. Just thought I could help you organize your money management. I'd hate to see you lose it all.

Gonna look into to starting to do that.  I really like that idea.

 

GOOG making new lows.  

 

588s.  Looking for the breakdown to continue.  Also looking for the market to sell off to finish the day.  A rounding top on the SPY followed by 2 near double tops.  Not sure how low we can go.  I could be totally wrong, obviously.  Need to break some supports.

Well just about everything I said today was wrong in this thread...  However,  GOOG was still weak today. 
 

It did reclaim the 200 day MA which hurts our cause.  The next few days will be interesting and hopefully will give us a defined direction on GOOG.

Good job. Overall market was pretty bullish today. Just wait and see what tomorrow brings. Will the Bull hold? or will the bears defeat the bulls? Find out next time on Wall St.

The reason why I said GOOG was weak today was due to the market being up over 1% and GOOG only being around $2.81 (.48%) in the green.  Traded below it's 200 MA for most of the day.  We might go to 135 as a market, but I think after that IF we flush hard, GOOG gets flushed even harder.  Not quite ready to abandon this trade yet. 

 

Kind of up against the wall on that LNKD trade...not much time to play with on that one due to June 16 expiration date.  Down about $1,900 right now.  Will look into possible action to take tomorrow depending on how the market is acting.
