Currently I have this:

i3 4130 3.4 3mb box lga1150
g.skill f3-1600c1s-8gnt 8gb pc12800 dr3
sapphire radeon hd6450 flex 1gb pcle
samsung 840 evo series 120gb5/s600
asus z87-c (c2)

It gets slow when I open more then one poker site and I can play just old games on it. What would be good choice for computer to play poker comfortably and to be ableto play games on ok resolutions (like CS:GO)?

This should run multiple poker sites and will run Minecraft, CS:GO, ETC at 60FPS

op, ignore the above obviously and just swap the cpu out for an i5/i7 if your hudbot software won't run well - the actual poker clients will run fine on your current setup. as should cs:go which is a four year old game, maybe you could drop $150 on a new gpu

He didn't state a budget and just said he needed to play multiple sites and CS:GO. The computer I listed will do that.

Obviously I was trolling because we get these threads every week and if people would just use the search feature they could find the answers.

If he used the ssd in the way you're supposed to use it he wouldn't need a larger one.

I only have 2 problems with this:

(a) Newegg is a really good site to buy from but they're awfully high; and
(b) What possible app could you be using to require 960 GB of SSD? (I have no problem with the i7; I'm going to get one & I might even get a xeon. Of course, if money's no object...

Btw I'm getting a new box soon also. I found some really good deals online at the hp store (store.hp.com). The big + for me about the hp store is that you get onsite service. Sometimes they have promotions in which you get your $ back if you don't use
your onsite service. The on-site service includes replacement of your computer if they can't fix it.

I got my last 3 machines from Fry's. They have 3 year (apparently) all-risk service contracts; the only problem with them for me is that they're 40 miles away and when you bring your machine in for service you have to leave it for 2 weeks or more (you do get a loaner).
