bcochran0 0 Posted March 8, 2021 So all I have currently is my work laptop, but as I read Andrew's book and start watching videos and gaining more knowledge on this site, that doesn't come close to cutting it! My question is, do y'all have a setup you recommend? I'm not looking to spend a ton, but I assume a desktop with 8gb+ of RAM and a good SSD is probably needed? Four monitors seems to be the norm, no problem there. Do you build, or buy a Dell/HP or something more catered towards gaming (only because they usually have better RAM/SSD, etc)? I appreciate any input! Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roberto 10 Posted March 15, 2021 I built a machine that will last and I can flip easily to gamers. 3900 Ryzen 9 XT 64 Gb RAM 500gb Samsung pro 980 nvme Corsair 95xt platinum keyboard. Radeon 8gb video card, lower end but good for our purposes Gigabyte Auros WiFi Elite mb, would not recommend Gigabyte 4 monitors, 3 @ 32", no 4k Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bcochran0 0 Posted March 15, 2021 This is strictly for trading (don’t play video games often).I was looking at building or pre-built office computers. Is 64gb of RAM necessary? I thought 16 was a lot, hah! At any rate, thanks for the information. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But if I decided this wasn't for me, it's going to be easier to sell a computer that appeals to a gamer. For RAM, it depends what you want to do. If you run a lot of trading apps and VMs, you can chew it up... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
