Oops... meant "quad-port cards"

Good choice. If "hi spec", not sure about any great bargains. Dell is known for higher prices on upscale components. You might check Dell Outlet. If you can find the machine you want you'll likely save $400-500 at least... will full 3-year warranty same as "new".

What CPU are you planning?

I just checked Dell Outlet... no T5820s available. So I checked the retail screen and found T5820, 16GB RAM, 2x Nvidia T600 (dual port cards). It has an 256GB NVME boot drive. If just for trading, 256GB should be more than enough. Price = $1850.

I checked the Passmark on the "entry" CPU.. i9-10900x = ~22,000... checked on the i9-10980XE ~33,000. However the "single thread" performance on both is about the same. So unless you're sure your software will use more than 10 cores, there's no benefit to paying the higher price for the 10980XE.

Good Luck!

Scataphagos I will check out Dell Outlet and see what deals they have and if I find anything I like the look off I will let you know. Thanks for the advice.

I just checked the site. No T5820s available. There are "34xx" and "36xx" models, but they aren't the real deal as per "workstation".

If I were you, I'd look to eBay... then perhaps buy a Square Trade warranty as suits your comfort. The T5820 is a REALLY GREAT machine. If I were you I'd try to find one that fits rather than settle for a lesser machine. EVERYBODY knows this... that's why there aren't all that many available.
