Time to replace my ancient system ...need some help please

so, I have an old dell that's been my dedicated trading computer for the last 12yrs.



Specs (cuz im sure you all will get a good laugh) pentium 4 2.25ghz 1.0 gb ram 1 agp 64mb nvida geforce 440 2 pci nvida 32mb 400mx's 3 monitors and a partridge in a pear tree.



I run TS and IB tws on this setup and it still does the job. (I trade some stocks but mostly ES or NQ in the morning ...somewhere around 5-20 trades per morning) BUT, it's time for a new system.





Here are some specs my friend suggested (computer dude) but he's more of a gamer type. I need something stable and doesn't break. I don't need the latest and greatest. It just has to be reliable.



Microsoft Windows 8.1 64-bit thinking I'd do better with windows 7 since im used to this windwos XP interface.

bottom line - i would like to spend under $1k ...like I said I don't need the latest and greatest. like to run 3-4 monitors. This computer isn't going to do anything else except play youtube vids and store family pictures on it.



thank you in advance.
