I've only got about 4 months before I go travelling again, but I needed a computer to play online poker ~12+ tables (2 big monitors) not looking to break the bank with it either, as I'll only have 4 months with it.

If it's an extra ~$200-$300 and will stay relatively competitive over the next 3 years and I'm able to store it for when I get back, then I wouldn't mind buying slightly more expensive parts and playing diablo 4 with it, when it comes out/when I get back home.

Basically just needs to be fast, good wireless connection to my internet (as the router is upstairs) and very good monitors, I heard if they're too big and the resolution isn't very good then the screens just look distorted when playing tons of tables
apparently I need 1920x1200 resolution (not completely sure what this is) I'm currently using a 15.4 inch monitor and it's definitely too small. Would like both monitors to be bigger.

tl;dr multitabling 12 table computer setup, cheap as possible though money isn't an issue and don't mind spending a few hundred more on necessities (also need stuff like keyboard/better mouse/any other nifty cool things etc.

e/ I'm from Vancouver Canada.


Budget: None, but cheap preferred
More specific use (what games, what programs): online poker (maybe d4 in the future)
Planned time until purchase: now
Do you need an Operating System?: yes (not sure if pcs come with it or not)
Do you have any specific preferred components?: don't know anything about computers, so guess not.
Do you need a sound or wireless card?: also not sure, I don't have any spare ones lying around
Do you want stock cooling or do you plan on overclocking?: not sure
Do you need a monitor? mouse? keyboard?: 2 monitors, keyboard, might need a mouse even though I've got 2 cheap ones
Zip code/location? (Shipping costs): Vancouver, BC

e/ and if the site also sells it, I'll take an antivirus aswell

What about a laptop instead with thunderbolt 3 so you can hook up multiple monitors instead?
Now you talk about traveling.

As for anti-Virus i highly recommend getting Bitdefender total security. I use it for all my devices, as you get it for up to 5 devices.

I see you are still using the ava/sig from my photobucket. reuploaded them on another site.

What is thunderbolt 3? Deffs not bringing monitors with me in my backpack 😂 If I could hook up my laptop to two 24" monitors that would actually be pretty awesome!

I'll definitely use that antivirus, thx a ton! And I'll do my sig/Ava when I get home, thx again

Kinda a super port which can do pretty much everything. Like hook up upto 2x 4k monitors to one of these. You can read more about it here:
https://thunderbolttechnology.net/blog/thunderbolt-3-usb-c-does-it-all

Just leave the monitors behind and take the laptop with you when traveling. Then you can play some Poker etc on the run.
Depending your budget you should go for 6700HQ or 7700HQ plus maybe an gtx 1050/1050ti with 16gb of ram (if you wanna go with an laptop)

are all those specs at the bottom laptop specs? or are those for the monitors? (I'm really bad with computer stuff)

e/ has that thunderbolt thing been released yet? I cannot find anywhere that has a price/place to purcahse it

could anyone throw together a build for me? I'll pay fg if that's what you want?

Has to be able to run 6 zoom tables, youtube/movies on the side, and quite a bit of poker software (PT4, equilab, and run some postflop solvers relatively quickly)

Gold 0.00

I can buy fg

I can still help you out with a build. But don't see the reason why when there is only like 3 months now till you going to travel for a while.
I normally don't recommend laptops, but seems to be the correct answer here.

Anyways here is a cheap but nice performaning building under 1000$ with 2 monitors included.

If you wanna storage lots of movies or large documents you would need to add a HDD with desired storage capacity.
