Hi folks,
I’m looking for some advice on a gaming rig if you could be so kind as to impart your wisdom!
My budget is €2000 including a monitor. Would like it prebuilt, not gonna mess around myself.
Monitor I’m looking at is:
G2460PG 24" 1920x1080 TN G-Sync 144Hz 1ms Gaming Widescreen LED Monitor – Gunmetal
Any comments on this based on suggested builds below?
I’m a little confused as to the cost gap in the below 2 builds. From what I can see the Titan (my ballpark budget) has a more expensive SSD but no sound card. Does the Skylate have higher end versions of the same thing basically?
Also, any advice re upgradability down the line, is double the Ram and another 1080 in sli possible on the Titan, if it was worthwhile?
