suggestions for motherboard and cpu
Hi everyone, I'm looking to configure a 12-screen setup for web-based stock trading. I need suggestions for a used motherboard and CPU that can manage heavy data ticks during intense market activity. It should still allow me to place trades efficiently without exceeding the CPU's capacity at full utilization. The motherboard must support overclocking and have at least three PCIe 16x slots. All screens will be filled with charts, technical analysis, and news updates, requiring constant updates. I require a CPU that can handle this workload. Thanks for any advice you can provide.

I have three nvs-440 quad heads providing 12 monitor outputs. Will the i5-6500 provide sufficient performance to keep CPU usage below 100% during intense market activity on 12 monitors? The i5-6500 has a passmark of 7044 on cpubenchmark.net. I previously ran six screens on a q8200 at 2.3ghz overclocked to 2.8ghz with an evga nforce 680i motherboard, which had a passmark of 2840 and occasionally reached the top end of CPU usage during heavy market periods. That setup was on 6 monitors, so I’m considering upgrading to 12 monitors. I’m aiming for a CPU with a passmark around 11352 to ensure usage stays near 50% under heavy load. As a complete beginner, I’m guessing I need a higher passmark or the i5-6500 might not suffice. What are your thoughts? Would you recommend a CPU with a passmark that high, or would the i5-6500 handle it?
