RAM:
Size:
Just for OS, charting software and trading terminal, you would not require more than 8GB. But, to ensure compatible memory cards, it would be better to purchase the cards as a set. So, 8GBx2 should be good enough.
Speed of RAM: As the system will not be RAM speed bound,a decent speed of 2400MHz should be good enough.
Storage:
As the system is only used for trading, no more than 512 GB is required. If this is the case, then a SSD of 512GB is more than enough. Infact, NVME storage would be slightly for speed. Why speed? In case, during market hours you need to power cycle the desktop, it should boot in few secs. Newer systems it would be good to take a look at PCIE based storage device.
For my system, I have used 8GBx2 memory 2400MHz and 512GB SSD (Western Digital).
