Need help, with new PC

guitey · 2 Apr 2016 at 12:47

My PC recently died on me, RIP buddy.
Im a total noob, I had that thing 7 years and only thing that I ever replaced was the PSU.
Im now in need of a new one. The main purpose of it is for playing online poker. I want to be able to play on multiple poker sites, up to 20 tables, with a few of other programs running, discord, spotify, skype, google chrome, plus a stats tracking program called holdem manager 2, which tracks/stores hands and updates in real time and gives you info via a HUD, which uses PostgreSQL(2?). Plus I want it to run 3 monitors.

I already have the monitors and mouse/keyboard and speakers.

So I want something that can do all that smoothly. Im in England, I would like to spend £450 - £550. If need be I would have a go at assembling it myself, but would prefer something thats already built.
I hope this is in the right place, if not, please direct me to the right place. Thanks for any help and I will do my best to provide any more info thats needed.

If you list your old parts you might be able to reuse some

That is my old one. After looking around, it seems dated now, although it did mostly run fine. The motherboard / processor has gone on it.

How does this look? Do I need a sound card? I dont see that as an option in other configurations. Can this run 3 monitors?

I suggest multiple monitors. I think you should have a 240 GB SSD.

What do you mean 'I suggest multiple monitors' ? quartz? My last PC ran 3 monitors, one of them using a USB adapter and was only used for tournament lobbies. I want this one to not have to use that adapter.

Any more help with this would really be appreciated.

Simply that for what you want to do, having multiple monitors will increase your productivity. Post #4 indicates your interest in such but doesn't actually say that you already have them. Many motherboards support up to three monitors (often VGA, DVI, and HDMI). You don't detail the motherboard in post #4 but the R7 250 does support three monitors (typically VGA, DVI, and HDMI) and there may be versions with differing outputs.

So, which outputs do your monitors support?

Yes I already have 3 monitors. One has VGA and HDMI and the other 2 have VGA, DVI and HDMI.

And yea I was unsure if the above could run 3 monitors, so good to know that it can, thanks.

Is the processor in the above ok?
