Hello everyone.
I will currently use this PC for stock trading and other business/office applications.
This is my first build and I am open to any and all advise. I am currently stuck at selecting an efficient way to maximize cooling.
Any other opinions on other parts are welcome as well.
Thank you in advance.
Mike

Hi @Tyson_KO1,
Are you using any specialized software like TradeStation or a proprietary software? I would make sure the system meets the system requirements, but I have a few questions I'd like to ask....
I would consider either the IceGiant or a Dark Rock Pro for cooling since this is a business machine.
Hi Lambdaben,
My plan was to use the samsung 980 for my primary drive and the seagate as the backup/storage drive.,
My concern for cooling is based on how hot the 5950x runs. My ultimate goal is speed and stability.
I currently have a 40" and a 29" Most of what I am doing now is covered calls with some event trading thrown in. so I am using Schwab and ameritrade. I also use a number of browser based services for misc data and charting.
Is there anything else that you would recommend with my part selection.
Thanks a lot for your comments,
No, the build looks really good. The faster Samsung 980 Pro, 990 Pro and the SN850X from WD would give you faster performance due to their increased speeds over the regular 970 EVO Plus SSD, so I think that would be worth the upgrade.
For cooling, please watch the video below for reference on the IceGiant
The A2000 will be able to handle the monitors without any issues.
Other than that, like I stated earlier, I think you have a solid build.
