There are two major processor vendors on the market today, Intel and AMD. It is generally accepted that for poker the best choice is Intel, as it is faster. However, this is an eternal dispute like MARVEL or DC. AMD processors have a nuance - they heat up more strongly, so a standard cooler may not be enough. Personally, I have an Intel Core i3-6100 3.7GHz, worth $140. After choosing a processor, look at its Socket. You need to choose a motherboard with exactly the same parameter. Budget "mother" is enough. But when choosing, make sure that it has outputs for your monitors and that it supports the DDR III memory type.
You don't need a strong computer to play poker, as for playing online shooters, etc. Take the middle category and equipment. I will add to the previous message that 8 gigabytes of RAM is enough for you and it is bobbed according to the parameters of the motherboard. It is better to take modern DDR4 memory. It is desirable that the hard drive be for the operating system SSD with a capacity of at least 120 GB and the second drive is a regular 1 TB. But you can take it without an SSD.

I like this question, especially since I was pondering it, myself. The rig pictured above seems very nice. Personally I might use a bigger monitor, my eyesight is getting worse by the year, lol. Perhaps a nice 50" Samsung or the equivalent would suffice. I'm interested to see where this goes. May I throw in a "sub-inquiry" about lap-tops? I go on the road, sometimes, and was looking to upgrade. Thanx CC. 😀
To build a PC to play poker, it does not need many processor requirements, and if a gamer wanted, we would be talking about a processor or AMD or intel core i9 with an RTX graphics card above 2000 and a ram of approximately 32 gb, which will do that your computer flies speed, besides that you have to look for a screen and it is the fundamental part for an online poker player a very large and excellent screen.😀
