Hello everyone,
I am looking to build a computer for day trading stock. I am looking for a fast fairly quite computer without cooling issues. I do want a solid state drive and an ASUS MB other than that I have nothing that I am “set on.” I would like to keep the system under $2,000 if possible with $2,400 being my cap, but again under $2,000 is my goal. (This is just for the system no monitors or anything.)
This system will be 100% for trading, streaming charts, watching video clips and multitasking with multiple programs/pages. There will be little to no gaming or anything else. I am just looking for a purpose build trading system.
I will not be upclocking and more than likely not crossfire either since I don’t feel there is a need for it in this system.
I would like the system to be capable of running 6 monitors without any issues or lag. Although I will be starting off with 3 monitors and working my way up to 6 over time.
This is kind of what I threw together just looking at other builds and prices:
Intel i7-4771 processor -$300
I would like an Asus DDR3 intel Mother board but which one? I do not want to cut corners on the mother board. -$400?
Corsair Professional Series 860 Watt Digital ATX/EPS Modular Power Supply AX860i?? -$200
Corsair hydro series liquid CPU cooler H80i -$90
Sata III solid state drive 500G -$250
Duel port Ethernet card -$50
Internal wifi card -$50?? (What model/brand should I get?)
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit -$200
16g (4x4g) DDR3 desktop RAM- $175 (what company/model RAM to get??)
Fractal design R4 computer case - $100
What Video card/cards? - $400??
I don’t think I will need a sound card but if so which one do you recommend? - $??
I would also like a DVD/CD writer and a blue ray player. I do not need a blueray writer. -$100
This setup written here is estimated around $2,500. What can I do to get this down to around $2,000 or less? Again I am looking for the fastest possible computer able to stream charts and movie clips as fast as possible with up to 6 monitors and no lagging or image issues. I want a cool running system with no heat issues and as quite as possible but total silence is not necessary.
Am I missing anything else? I feel like I am missing something. I know I can cut corners with a small solid state drive but I would like a 500G. I also do not want less than 16g of RAM and I do not want to cut corners on the MB. So if you could help me pick the right models for everything and fill in what I’m missing I would extremely appreciate it. I would like to start buying parts now and finish up by the end of June and start the build.
Thank you!
