Desktop PC for Poker

Hey guys I need your help, I want to buy a new desktop and my budget is 400 euros. In this budget it's not mandatory to buy a monitor but it would be cool.

Also I would buy the components seperately because they are cheaper.

Any ideas?

It depends on whether you want it for gaming or only for poker and stuff. If you want it for gaming you have to buy a good graphics card and a good gpu. If you want it only for poker and everyday use, then you just need lot of ram and a ssd drive which is really important for software like HM2 and PT4.

You could go for a lower CPU and perhaps remove the GPU.

Sorry i was just trying to help him out. Granted my knowledge is limited. I always just go for 5/600w psus to save me worrying.

Perhaps you could offer something productive towards the thread, rather than degrading my advice?

Your advice looks very good imo. Power supply is pretty important.
At OP I'm sure you could shop around for some coupons and some good deals to save money.

You could also contact a seller on Ebay who builds PC's, give him as much details as possible about what you want/need and I'm sure he'll be abele to knock out a good price ;)
