Whats the name / models of the acutall equipment?

Desktops are dying.
Laptops with 4+ cores are more than sufficient in the finance world, IMO.
Of course connecting to external monitor(s) & keyboard & mouse,
and having SSD and fast RAM.

I need a lot of real-estate.. Monitors are key for me

for trading the main thing u want is a good cpu / ram combo.

I used to play games like crazy, the main thingu wanted there is a good cpu / graphics card combo.

 

[Miltiadis]

I agree ... 32 gig of ram and the Intel i7 processor seems ideal for a setup .. The video card is high end with a 4k display which is ideal for me and the price seemed real good

 

[cbc1]

Did u get a gaming or workstation graphics card?
