Hexlicious Posted September 19, 2015 Author Share Posted September 19, 2015 Don't be stupid, use your 1440p monitor at 1440p for gaming and use your 1080p monitor at 1080p for everything else.... I prefer 1080p, 1440p was just overkill for my taste =P Anyways, whatever should be changed, you do it, since you actually have a clue what needs to be changed http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Bs3Nbv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a side note can someone recommend me a blue LED mouse that isn't too expensive? My current one is squeaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logitech G502, Mionix Avior/Naos 700, Corsair M45, and Logitech G100s/300/402 are my usual recommendations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AwesomeMcCoolName Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 It's actually a half decent PSU -- not for this caliber of build....but it's decent. If you're going with a 1440p monitor, then I'd go with the 980Ti.

A 390 is a bit better than a 970, but is still plenty for 1080p (a 980Ti is way overkill for 1080p) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of oil or similar will probably do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twins_Mercury Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Guessing the top choice? http://i.imgur.com/0nUMQc9.png Since you said you prefer an all black build you'll probably want to go with the Gigabyte.

AwesomeMcCoolName Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Why that one? the rating is pretty bad =P Because Sapphire makes pretty much the best AMD cards, and offer some of the best customer service. look up actual professional reviews.

Alrighty then, you obviously know what you're talking about, so i'll take your advice. This is the build now, anything that needs changing?

Otherwise it's ordering time. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/yr3Nbv I'd go with the MSI Z97 Krait + the ram I recommended in my post since it fits your black/white preferred theme.

Twins_Mercury Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 There is one very crucial thing we haven't touched on yet which is the building itself. If you haven't already check out some videos and stuff on how to build PC's if you'll be doing it yourself and maybe considered getting an anti-static wrist strap to be on the safe side. I know electronics have been getting pretty good at being more resilient but static electricity is still a threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know electronics have been getting pretty good at being more resilient but static electricity is still a threat. It's a concern, but not a very big one. As long as you don't build on a shag carpet while wearing thick cotton socks you'll more than likely be fine. (although, you should still plug in your PSU to the wall and touch the housing of the PSU every so often to make sure you're grounded). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwesomeMcCoolName Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Are you sure 8gb of ram are enough? More is always better right? And the build is still fairly cheap. 8gb is still plenty if you're not running 20+ chrome tabs while gaming, plus you can buy another 8gb in the future if you really need more. I have no issues at 8gb, I even managed at 4gb for a few weeks while I RMA'd some RAM. Plus ram will only get cheaper as time goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twins_Mercury Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Are you sure 8gb of ram are enough? More is always better right? And the build is still fairly cheap. To be quite honest a build of this caliber looks like a dream to me. Then again I haven't lived long enough to know what a paycheck is like. Although considering this is a $1k build I don't see why indulging in 16gb of ram is such a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
