Question
RWJ 1,080
Toying with the idea of a new desktop. Mainly because if this 9 year old HP fails I have no way of working and would involve an emergency purchase, which is never good. Aside from remoting in to work the main use is multi-tabling online poker, coupled with Holdem Manager software which is essentially an SQL database to record hands and provide a heads up display & stats reporting. I'd like to upgrade to 3 monitors instead of the current 2.
Current PC - Intel Pentium 2 core 2.6ghz, 4GB ram, 1tb HDD, upgraded graphics card to handle dual monitors.
It runs ok but very slow to open Holdem Manager and the boot time is in minutes.
I've been quoted £680 from Palicomp for Intel i5-9600k 6 core overclocked to 5ghz, 16gb DDR4, 1tb NVMe SSD, nVidia Geforce GT710 graphics card for 3 monitors. Doesn't include the monitors.

What do we think of this spec- significant upgrade from current? Any better (cheaper) ways to get a performance PC without building it myself.
