Message: [QUOTE="Poker Orifice, post: 5862139, member: 33113"] A 1660super isn't necessary for your needs (ones expressed in this thread). On one of my setups I run 2x 24in. monitors 1920x1080 off a 7yr old desktop with an i5 and no GPU (& with 8GB RAM). It is more than enough. (I'm sure it'd work with an i3). I'm not as familiar with the AMD cpu's and have always used Intel cpu's. I think for screen space, 2x 24in. is probably your cheapest bet. I'm sure you could grab a couple used ones for cheap (off of those guys who are going out & purchasing 32in. monitors, lol... oh yah.. I actually just purchased two 32in monitors this month... early Christmas presents ;) I chose to go with BenQ (I have four 24in. DELL Ultrasharp, 1 23" Acer & 1 27" Acer.). THe 24's & 27" are all 1920x1080, the 32" curved BenQ EX3203R is 2560x1440 144Hz, 16:9 and the other is a 32" flat BenQ SW321C 3840x2160. THe 'new' poker one is the BenQ EX3202R. Picked it up on a Black Friday sale. The SW321C is for my partner - - she's into photography. fwiw, I saw that Dell has their BlackFriday sale on til' tomorrow. They have a 24in. monitor on sale for ~$85 usd For chairs... I've had a couple computer chairs that lasted me a long time (at bodyweight of 120kg+). My last one I had for 15yrs., using it daily (it played MANY hands of poker... literally 'millions'). My current one was a gift from my wife. She got me one of those DXRacer gaming chairs. tbh I thought I was going to send it back when I first opened it (It wasn't what I wanted... but she was sure it was). But what did I know... turns out I really like it!! It's the 'King series' which I think is rated at 400lbs. (maybe it was 350?). I'm sure it could easily 400 though. The cushions are a bit firm but they feel like they will last a long time. The casters are solid & work well (they are over-sized... I would guess 3" diameter?). I personally had my eye fixated on an Obsuforme chair - heavy duty one, medium-back. They are the bomb! (but not cheap... over $1,000 Cdn.,.. ~$800usd). On a tight budget I think I would look around for an older rig ie. 4th gen Intel.. 'Haswell', i5 H87 chip motherboard No GPU 450-500W PSU 8GB Ram ... then 'later on' maybe add in a gtx 1060, or a gtx1650 depending upon what you are wanting to run off of it. Buying some of these older GPU's online can be surprisingly expensive but at the same time you can find a used one for a decent price. gl gl [/QUOTE]
