Computer Specs

Bartholomew

I've been without an actual computer for a while, and now I need one for a non-poker related reason, but I do want to get into playing online regularly as well.

The specs I need for my non-poker thing is

2 GHz processor
8 GB RAM
256 GB Hard Drive

Should I bump any of that up for poker? I'll mainly be using PokerStars (1-4 tables) with PokerTracker (unless there's a better HUD I should be using?), and I will be using Flopzilla as well.

Would most gaming PCs be okay? I'm pretty clueless about this stuff.

I also need a webcam and mic, and was wondering if any streamers out there had recommendations?

You'll probably have more options to choose from without any real additional cost if you boost all those specs a bit, but unless you're planning on doing solver work those will be okay for playing online.

Thanks!
