Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a new desktop and I want something that's a little more powerful than it really needs to be, but I don't want to overpay for specs that won't really improve performance. I will mainly be using this for playing online poker, surfing the internet (lots of tabs open on chrome), and some spreadsheet work. I keep 4 or 5 programs open at the same time pretty often. Occasionally I will be making video recordings of my poker sessions, but I won't be doing any editing. I'm willing to spend up to $1,000.00 but I don't want to spend that if it's not necessary.

Core I7 7th gen

Core I5 8th gen

Core I7 8th gen



Ram: Minimum 16 gigs must be upgradable to 32



I need to be able to run 2 monitors, but I don't know if I need a separate graphics card. ?



Do I need an SSD?



Thanks!
 
For what you want to use it for, you don't need anything expensive. An I5 would be fine with 16gb of ram. Only benefit to an SSD is faster bootup. You should be able to use 2 monitors using onboard dvi and hdmi providing motherboard has the hdmi, most do anyways. Where would you get this pc from?
