Great Video.
think you know your product before making this video
Can the Quadro P1000 run all four monitors at 4k resolution at 60hz? If I have only three or two 4k monitors, can I run them at a higher refresh rate on that card or would I need a different card all together?
Hello Clay and Nate,
I am a man of my word. I told you I would post something when I completed this build and here it is. I built this system with my 7 year old son. It is a great system and is super fast. Like you said Nate it does what I need it to do. I never built a computer before but it was allot of fun doing it with my son. He is very proud of it. I did not change anything except windows pro decided to go with home edition and the power supply. Went with a bit more ram also. We are very happy.
Thanks

No coolant paste for the cpu?
Hi, I recently bought a thinkpad with 32gb ram, 1t ssd and a ryzen 7 4750u processor, do you think the processor will be good for trading? It base clock is 1.7ghz and max turbo is 4.1,
Thank you!
Can we also do gaming on that?
Dear Sir, good day to you..can advised if want to use 6 monitors. What specs parts should to prepared? Thanks 🙏🙏🙏
Is there a cheaper gaming card that will be compatible with your recommendations on your blog?
that power supply is huge
I Love it , you mean it only took you 20 minutes to build this from start to finish ? And how long to install Windows ? Now i wanna do it myself too , love to build stuff!
Parts List??
Even 6 months later I still appreciate the vid thank you guys so much
no thermal grease?
Hi there I am installing all the PC components, the Quadro P1000 doesn’t have any cable to connect right? I am installing now but the manual says to connect the power supply cable? I don’t see any in the graphic cards????
👍
Thank you for the tutorial. I can’t find the link for the windows install.
Thermal paste maybe??…first build?
I can’t help but wonder if you might have ADHD?
The ryzen 9 is overkill for the other components.
Hello
You a clown
Hello Clay,
First off thanks for the video much appreciated been trading since 1991. Starting this build and would like you to update it if that is possible? As of this video prices have gone through the roof for many of these components. I purchased the Ryzen 9 3900x and the Nvidia p1000. Before I go any further any suggestions you can make on the build to save some money would be appreciated. And before anybody starts with the negative comments do not waste your time. I am a trader and this is the stock market. If you are trying to make money there is no such thing as overkill. Many of the comments here are ignorant I am only concerned about getting my trades filled at the prices I enter them at and I do not want to here about slippage!!!!. Please tell me the best components for me to accomplish this. I will post pictures and video of the build as well as me using it to trade when it done if you like. I have seen your systems in action in your videos and I see that they are fast .That’s why I chose to follow your build recommendation. Keep up the good work and ignore the clowns. Takes money to make money. Thanks.
Mike
Trading since 1991
Thanks for the video.
I watched some Arab guy trader and he had 3 LG 32" monitors tilted on thier sides that gave him like 9 monitors, each monitor was divided into 3. but I never figured out which LG monitors he was using. I bought a Asus 32" monitor off newegg for 260 (refurb), but it doesn’t have the same look. do you know what monitor would fit best ?
How much does a build like this cost?
no ethernet?
Why quodro card?
Earlier I’ve seen suggested gpu being quadro k1200 and it’s successor is quadro p620 which is in the same price range
Any particular reason you chose p1000?
The cost goes up dramatically if I’m going with 2 gpus
Whats the cost? lol
Hi! Thanks for your video! About the power supply, I only find the Seasonic Focus GX-750, is it still okay with all the rest of these equipements?
Thanks!
I watched this to know what to look for in a trading pc you didn’t explain anything. I already know how to build a pc I want to know what components matter most for day trading.
Simple PC build but absolute monster of a trading computer, nice
Hi guys, I purchased the parts to build this computer and just assembled them. However, I’m getting a No Display when I power on the computer. Any thoughts on where the problem may be? Thanks.
The fact that people post no thermal paste, and know enough to know that thermal paste is important but don’t see or know about the stock paste on the stock heatsink is hilarious and as awesome as your responses. Love the, “great, thanks for the comment to support my channel even if it’s friggin worthless” attitude on the dumber comments, and I guess this one is now too but whatever. Like the videos. Keep it up and I wish you all Green Day’s
How much did this build cost? Is there anywhere I can buy a pre-built one with the same specifications?
Better off just buying a desktop off amazon. These prices are all insane now. Prebuilt system more power for a lot less. Thanks Inflation Joe. my PC went up almost triple in price from 2 years ago. Its crazy
This is a vid of how to build a PC. You have to click on the blog to read why these specific parts where chosen in order for it to be considered as a trading computer. Would have been nice to see the thought process on why these parts were selected to build the TRADING PC. Some parts were overkill but I like the build. Would have spend a little more money on the graphics card though… liked and subbed.
Please update
When my trading will be in profit I will definitely take some money out and build one of those dream pc … until that time I will keep trading with my MacBook which likely I was able to add two external monitors.
Seems you forgot to put a lot of promised stuff in the description.
9:16, make sure you don’t what?!?!?
Hello, I have added the price of the following parts: processor, $399, motherboard $135, Ram $145, hard drive $79.99, video card $409, case $112, power supply $134, Windows operation system $147, keyboard + mouse $40. the total I came up with purchasing all the parts from Amazon currently is: $1,601! This does not include monitors, web cam, monitor stands, or battery back up. Which if you added all these, you would be looking at $600 in additional cost ( didn’t add the monitor stands to the equation). please explain how you came up with $995.
Awesome man. Should you install anti virus for a trading computer?
I also find the Gigabyte P750GM is this an option ok with the rest of the component?
Hi. How would you recommended I figure out how to make a cheaper version. I played around on PcpartPicker but I wouldn’t know if the parts would work. I’d like something cheaper, I just want to run TC2000 & a probably a brokerage website, then a Trading software.
hahahah, The processor and RAM is massive overkill
seriously? no cooling paste?
The recommended motherboard is currently sold out- what would the next best choice be?
So its just a gaming machine…
