My budget is around $1,200. I'll be using this computer 90% for playing online poker.


I've been googling stuff to try and help, but all the lingo just seems like gibberish to me.

Many people fall into the trap of thinking that bigger is better when it comes to a PC monitor, and while they do have a point, it’s all about screen resolution.

Make sure the screen you’re buying is true HD and has a display of at least 1920 x 1080p so that you can play multiple tables without a ton of overlap. Once you’ve found one with a good resolution, choose your monitor size bearing in mind that a high resolution on a small screen can make everything seem tiny. I went for a 27” screen and would have opted for a 4K monitor had my budget allowed — make sure your graphics card supports 4K if you go down this route.

I just copy pasted this from anosther site, and I don't know what any of that means, but I would like 2 monitors quite large as I plan on playing upwards of 16 tables at a time and I want them tiled.

Wondering if building a computer is really worth it, over just buying a complete one off the internet.

Any accessories that you think I should definitely be purchasing aswell would be awesome to hear (antivirus/anything else you can think of)

And lastly, not too important I might want to play video games on it time to time, probably Diablo 4 when it comes out so wouldn't mind having that run smoothly aswell, any tips would be greatly appreciated!

building is worth it

do you really not play any other games? if so this budget is overkill (even with d4)

for monitors id get a 1440 res monitor and maybe a 1080 to go with it (reuse current)

Why $1200 to play online poker? Wtf

It's my job.



I don't play too many video games anymore.
I don't want a slow computer, or one that craps out halfway through when I get up to 24 tables, I'll have minimum $2,400 to $4,800 on the tables at once, not keen to be lagging out of big pots.

I do not, I currently use a laptop. =/

I'll check the link in a bit

i'd get 3 or 4 1080p 100ish monitors for this
more monitors are better for shit like this

but what do I know I dont use 5 monitors right now

Seems like you wouldn't even keep your eyes on them all.

Ps I made that build assuming you had one already

You can do this for less than 600 including the monitor.
