Looking at pricing a new build and just curious if there would be any major drawbacks in choosing the cheapest option (the B-660M)? The MSI PRO option is kind of a middle range option price-wise, I know it includes some other bells and whistles that the cheap ASRock one does not but would that really matter for someone who only uses their computer for trading and basic web browsing?
What processor do you have? Makes a difference. Just trading can be anything. From 1screen, 2 screens,3 screens..., heavy calculations, what software... I would go for a motherboard supporting AMD ryzen processors, not intel. MSI is sold much more than Asrock https://www.userbenchmark.com/System/MSI-PRO-Z690-A-DDR4MS-7D25/254024
I will be using the 12600 with an NVS 420 for 4 monitors and an NVS 300 for 2 more + 1 onboard. I am currently running 4 off of an NVS 420 + 2 off of an FX 570 + 1 onboard on my older system (4790)
Are you a day trader lol? I have the MSI board paired with an i7-12700k and 32gb of ram. I use two visiontek amd rx560 to connect to 8 monitors. It’s great if you are running analysis in excel/stata/r/python. Not sure how powerful of a pc you need if you’re just doing charts.
If you make good money, you can afford to buy an overkill. I always buy an overkill. The difference in price between an overkill and a lighter system is recovered in just one trade, so why bother about that?
Sure but there’s something silly about a dude buying a Ferrari went they don’t know stick or never speed above 20mph…
Same here. We can handle it. Just as long as people don't talk about vaccinations and presidential voting.
