W10 vs W7 vs iMac Sierra

Thanks Algofy, I chickened out. I saw the site, spec'd a similar machine which would be hundreds cheaper. But I finally ordered from http://www.tradingcomputers.com/index.html . I felt I might miss something trying to spec a PC without really knowing what I should. The one I ordered will have some software on it to optimize CPU usage for trading. I got a 3 yr wty, a back up HD. I also, reluctantly, got W10 so I won't be left hanging when they don't support W7 anymore. The sales guy said they haven't had problems with W10 for the last 8-9 months. Hopefully this set up will last 3 years til I find out whether or not I can make it as a day-trader.

Cool, should be more than enough, sounds like a good rig.

Greetings All.
I'm just starting; going to buy a new hardware set up to trade emini SP500 on TradeStation.
What do y'all think of a PC system from tradingcomputers.com (Falcon) with Windows 10 home 64 bit versus same with Windows 7 64 bit (both a little over $2K with everything), versus iMac 27" i7 with Sierra OS ($3.4k+ with everything) and Windows emulator Parallels?
I want to avoid hardware and OS ongoing upgrade problems for, say, 3 years. But the premium for Apple seems not worth it. Still I read scary threads about MS Windows & related troubles.

If I were willing to spend the price for a new trading computer with 3-year on site warranty, I'd check this out first...

Dell Precision T5810... $799. Will run either W7 or W10.

(This is where I plan to look when it's time to replace my old computers with newer old computers.... for a price of ~$350-$400 each.)
