I'm looking to build a budget-friendly desktop PC specifically for trading. My needs are pretty basic—no gaming or heavy editing. Here's how I plan to use it:
- One browser tab for a trading data website that refreshes automatically.
- Another tab for Dhan, which is a charting platform for executing orders.
- I also want to watch YouTube for about 5-6 hours daily to aid in my studies.
- Occasionally, I'll read research reports and PDFs as well.
My setup includes using dual monitors—one is 22 inches and the other is 24 inches—working on both at the same time with one tab on each. The PC will be running for about 6-8 hours every day.

You really don't need anything fancy for that. Even a basic office prebuilt PC should do the trick! They’re usually pretty affordable and capable of handling multiple browser tabs and YouTube without any issues.
If you're looking to build your own, consider going with an Intel i3 or Ryzen 3. Both will handle your browsing and video watching with ease without breaking the bank. Plus, you can find some decent deals on components!
What do you mean by an 'office prebuilt'? I'm not very familiar with PCs.
