AwesomeMcCoolName Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 If you're intention is gaming then 8gb of Ram is plenty. I'd also consider going with the G2 850w psu (if you may throw in a second 390 in the future). Lose the useless ODD Get a 24" secondary monitor instead of a 23" one ( http://pcpartpicker.com/part/acer-monitor-umfg6aaa01 ) And I'd also consider getting a nicer keyboard. Lastly, both monitors come with the cables you'll need -- the VG248 will come with a DP cable and the H236 will come with a DVI cable. There's no reason to buy cables. /Just to make sure one thing is clear, you won't be gaming on two monitors. You'll be gaming on the single monitor while the second monitor is just there -- free to do other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free money accepted here Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 If you're going to be spending $1600, you should really consider getting a mechanical keyboard. They feel a lot nicer and are more satisfying to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah, wasn't planning on gaming on two monitors, one just for multimedia/browsing usually. For now I'll just stick with the normal keyboards--not a fan of most of the mechanical switches (except the blue switches, but they're too loud for now).
