Seems nice monitor.
I had to adjust for a bit coming from 16:9 monitor, to be able to see from one side to another. But my ultrawide is not curved, so maybe that's the reason.

Can anyone please recommend any good devices on the market at the moment?
Specs I just got from a friend who is v tech savvy and builds computers but doesn't play poker although I described what I needed to him:
CPU > Ryzen 5 3600
RAM > 2X 8GB
GPU > GeForce GTX 1080
SDD > 1 TB
A guy I don't know who does play poker just came back to me in a Discord server and said: "if u wanna use solvers then i'd get 32gb ram. u dont need a GPU unless u play games that have good graphics. can play low end games fine with integrated graphics. if u wanna solve faster ur gonna need a good CPU. idk exactly how good a ryzen 5 3600 is but the 32gb ram is pretty much a prerequisite if u wanna solve for complex trees."
So his point there is that solver is CPU heavy and therefore need good CPU.
Any thoughts please?

The latter is correct. Suggested GPU is overkill for poker. I would rather put in mid range GPU, up the ram to 32GB and leave rest as is. The Ryzen 5 3600 is a good mid range CPU. But as I am not experienced with solvers, I am not sure if they use multi cores or single cores. If it's single core performance, higher clock speed is better, (xx GHz) but if it's multi core performance, more cores are better.
In the end, it really depends on your budget and what kind of future-proofing you are expecting from this PC. Also, keep in mind that components can be upgraded when you start lacking performance.
