Hey I've decided to get a new poker computer and need some guidance.

Cost isn't really an issue, but obviously would want to keep it as low as possible. I won't be doing anything else on this computer at all besides grinding, so I really don't need a strong machine. Just something that can support a 30'' monitor with wireless internet connection.

I would like to know how much a computer like this would cost me, and how long it would take me to build it. I've never built a computer before, but I am fairly interested in learning. I am kind of busy though, and would probably prefer to commission someone to build me it if it takes too much time.

If there are any other details I should provide, please let me know.

Just to show how not picky about performance I am, here is my current computer and I am 100% fine with how fast/slow it runs.
Genuine Intel(R) CPU
T2050 @ 1.60 GHz
2 GB of ram
Stock graphics card


EDIT: I've also referenced the "Build a poker PC" article, but it is quite outdated, and would like some more updated advice

CPU: Intel 2500k one of the fastest around today, 3.30 quad core. You can also go for the 2500, but the difference in price is only 10 euros. 2500k is really easy to overclock if you ever want to do that. 180 euros.

RAM: 8gb of ram from Corsair or something 8gb might be overkill, but it is too cheap to pass. You pbb should just go for 4gb (45 euros), that is just enough too. 8gb = 90 euros from corsair for example.

SSD: Crucial RealSSD 128GB SSD is much faster, windows loads in like 8/10 seconds. 128gb is enough for the OS + some extra progams. You can also go for a 64gb version (100 euros) 128gb = 200 euros.

HDD: Samsung spinpoint F3 1TB One of the better HDDs on the market, 50 euros.

Case: Antec one hundred It is really cheap and it looks nice imo, 50 euros.

GPU: Radeon HD 5670 I dont know ifyour motherboard has onboard graphics
80 euros.

Motherboard: MSI P67S-C43 90 euros

PowerSupply: Antec HCG-520 High Current Gamer 520W 520watt is enough for this system 60 euros

OS: Windows 7 80 euros

Dunno what the prices are in foreign countries, here in Holland is pbb costs around 700/800 euros without the OS.

Hey i've actually decided to just buy a prebuilt one due to being limited on time these days.

Anyone have any suggestions where I should look for deals on prebuilt computers?

In case anyones interested, I decided to be a nit and ended up picking up this machine from the dell outlet for 300$.
