That's a decent start build for sure.

The monitor is whats going to fuck you in the long run.

1440P is prolly going to be your sweet spot on a 1070 tho

Screw saving money, just go big dik and get corsair white led rams too

Choose between the msi armor or the asus 1070.
the one you picked is a reference design, but if Ur like Ghot and enjoy reference designs go for it

If only light cad id aim 1440 and 144hz

Holy moly just realized I spelled building wrong lmao.



And holy shitaki mushrooms that 4k is expensive. Not sure I wanna spend 1/2 my budget alone on that.

Should I just buy two cheaper 1080p's til the 4k drops in price?

That's only a 2K.

I couldn't even find a 4K 144Hz, with Gsync.


/e Found some nice 4K, 60 Hz. I dunno why, but Gsync (Nvidia) seems to cost a lot more than Freesync (AMD).

Is it worth the pretty penny? I might just run 2x 1080p's.. I've never had 2x monitors before haha

Here's all the 2K, 144Hz monitors...

...on the left side, scroll down and choose Gsync.


/e ASUS, Acer, BenQ.. are generally the best ones to look for.




/ee Here's all the 1920 x 1080 144Hz monitors...

...again, you have to sort for Gsync.



/eee Before you decide, I would look up w/e one you like on NewEgg or the manufacturer's site to see the pixel pitch. You want the pixel pitch .27 or less.
As for IPS you can always tell that by the viewing angle. IPS is 178/17 degrees viewing angle.

Sweet, checkin it all out now! Thank you

And when looking at your build for me, why did you change PSU's to a lower wattage but higher price? Also, is having one SSD better than having a boot and a HDD?
