Most important thing for online trading is a good stable internet connection. Another advice I would give is to stay away from win 10 for such a system unless you know enough to use a "specific version of win 10" & disable all the auto update features. Better to stick with win 7 or even 8.1 as there is a bypass tool available to install & update win 7/8.1 even on latest hardware(officially microsoft support only win 10 on latest hardware).

Not sure if the trading website(s) would still 100% support windows 7 though.

A heads up: it seems that 2200/2400g will have stability issues with win 7/8.1 even with bypass tool allowing windows updates to run. Intel system/8th gen will have a better chance with win 7 than 2200/2400g.

Website support does not depend on OS but browser.Only software require OS support.

Sorry for the offtopic question, but why avoid 10 if someone is into share trading and stuff?

Because of its "out of the blue" updates. If you are not using "specific version" & not using "specific tools" to block all updates you never know when something updates in the background & system start having issues in the middle of something important.Now for typical works that is not an issue but imagine doing trading with a lakh rupees on certain stocks with rapidly fluctuating market & in the middle of placing orders the system crash.

I have been using Win 10 for about 2 months now. Unless I click restart, it doesn't restart on its own.

@OP,
18" would be small. Unless you're gonna be running multi monitor setup, go for at least 22" monitor. What Minion suggested is a decent build (don't know about the monitor though), esp. for in this budget for running Fritz.
If you wanna go Intel way, you can go for i3 8100 and it would cost about 2k more.

^^Which win 10 version & which 3rd party tool to disable auto updates(& how much time it is connected to net with what connection speed)?

Kindly suggest antivirus software too.

Your choice,if you have some experience with win 10 pro & like it then you can go with ryzen.You can use this to disable automatic updates on win 10 wumt.zip use the x64 file as you will be installing 64bit win 10 pro.

For AV I suggest avira free version.

AMD provides you the best bang for the buck in your budget. Better CPU and better GPU as well.

I'd suggest getting 16GB (2*8) RAM straight away. 8GB does not cut anymore if you open a lot of web browser tabs.

True but with a condition,win 10 is the only choice then. The integrated graphics driver of ryzen G processors does not play well with win 7 as per many online posts & there are reports coming that MS is going to lock down the "consumer versions" of win 10(home & pro) even more to make it even harder to stop automatic updates. This means using gfx card with 7/8.1 or using "non-consumer versions" with some 3rd party tools.

P.S. above assuming person intend to use windows not linux.

Finally, which version of Windows OS will work with Ryzen G Processor perfectly.

The only drawback is after installation only 99 GB of free space is available.

Planning to buy an external hard drive .

Thanks minion for your suggestion. As I have nil knowledge about computers I went for this configuration without any second opinion.
Fast processor and super silent cpu.
I was advised against AMD by shop personnel citing heat issues. But I was adamant in my decision and bought amd.

even after 4-5 of continuous running I cant feel heat in the outer panel .

Out of 240GB??? Does Fritz takes that much space?
even after 4-5 of continuous running I cant feel heat in the outer panel .
I am using pretty much the same config, temp doesn't even reach 40 during my normal usage. Temp shoots upto 60 only when I use emulator or play PUBG.

You cant feel the heat with exact temp...
