    Recommend me a computer build

    Looking at around $700-800 budget. I want to run two monitors. I run stock trading software - do not play games. I want something that will be future proof that will last awhile. Want it to look cool

    Is "stock trading software" intensive?

    Honestly, I'd probably buy the pre built that Kila posted.

    Not worth dealing with building for what your phone in your pocket could basically handle aside from wanting 2 monitors. lol
    But if you just WANT to build, I can get a parts list. Although you're going to get raped on a GPU right now. Even the low tier garbage GPU's are going for 2-3X their normal cost...

    Which is why a pre built in your budget is definitely your best choice given the market and what you need it for.

    I worry with cheap parts and reliability with the prebuilts? is this a misconception in most cases?

    That's not a terrible buy.

    Pre builts can use proprietary and/or cheaper quality parts, that's true. But...I don't think you will get much for your budget trying to build your own with how dog **** component prices are right now.
    In this situation, I would personally buy something pre built.
