What workstation to buy HP or Dell? (please help a non computer guy :))

[Kristjan_3]

First i have to say that I dont know nothing about PC-s.

I decide to buy used workstation (i was reading that the best are HP or Dell), under 500$ if I can find it. And I need help on what to buy.

I decide to buy it, because I am buying monitor with 2K resolution and my current PC cant handle this. I will use my PC for trading (I dont play games) and I would like that this PC would be good for at least 2x 32" monitors with 2K resolution (if they can run 4K even better).

And like I said I dont know nothing about PC so I cant really build it my self.

I would go with the dell but it really depends on what you get for the money eg processor and ram. Keep an eye out for that when looking at pcs to buy.

Agree'd with the above. I picked up a nice second hand HP computer for around £70 with everything with it, including OS. Look on something like Ebay, and you'll find that a business may have upgraded computers, wiped the HDD and then sold it on. If you have any questions, or ones you're thinking about, post the link and we'll judge it based on price/performance.

I actually already have a PC, but is very very old and I have laptop Lenovo Z710, but unfortunately I cant connect 2K resolution monitor to this laptop.

All programs that I use for trading are low demand, so programs are not the problem. The problem is that I want PC that I can use it for 2 monitors with 2K resolution.

I know that I dont need more then 256gb space and I need something good for internet browsing, because almost always i have more then 15 tabs open.

I took a little time to look what the have on eBay and now I am in decision between this 4 HP-s and 1 Dell:

The space and RAM is in all this computers OK. And I also think all others specifications are more then I need, but since they are in 300-400€ budget, I would like to know what is better to have, better graphic card or better CPU, because this is only difference here.

I also find this one that is even cheaper, but I dont know if it fast and if I can put 2x 2K monitor on it:

And price difference is about 70-100€, but then again if other above are much better I would rather buy one of the other 5 above.

Thank you for help.
