Hello, I am a professional poker player doing intensive mathmatical calculations with a popular poker solver (Piosolver: https://www.piosolver.com/). This is the only software I will install on this computer (besides Windows, of course). Basic hardware recommendations are available at: https://www.piosolver.com/pages/faq [point #9]
I need a dedicated computer for this purpose, as the computer cannot be used effectively while these calculations are taking place.
My current CPU is an old-but-still-OK Intel i7-4820K @ 3.70GHz. I have 64GB RAM. This new build must be at least as fast (preferably 50% faster).
I realize that Black Friday/Cyber Monday is coming up, but I will probably only have $200 to spend at that time.
Approximate Purchase Date: 12/7/19
Budget Range: ~$500-$600 (can go "slightly" higher if this results in decent upgrades.)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Math calculations only. The software I am using can utilize all cores and does NOT employ GPU calculations.
*RAM required: At LEAST 16GB, preferably 32GB (and the ability to upgrade to 64GB would be a moderate plus)
*GPU: A minimal GPU that will still run routine graphics fairly smoothly (no animation or streaming necessary, all "still" graphics). My software does not use GPU calculation.
*Storage: Hard drive 250GB minimum...500GB is a moderate plus (SSD not required, but of course always helpful. I would rather have a 256GB than a 512GB Hard Drive. 512GB would be a moderate plus)
Are you buying a monitor: Yes: 17" super-cheap monitor is fine.
Parts to Upgrade: Completely new system
Do you need to buy OS: Yes (any Windows 64 bit)
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: none
Location: City, State/Region, Country - Kansas City, Kansas, USA
Parts Preferences: None
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: 1024x768 is fine (but of course higher is always better)
Additional Comments: Software I am using: Piosolver (https://www.piosolver.com/) Basic hardware recommendations are available at: https://www.piosolver.com/pages/faq [point #9]
Why Are You Upgrading: This is a second computer specifically for Piosolver, as I can only (effectively) run these calculations on my main computer when not using it.
ThanX!
John
