Opinions on builds

[TheGentry]

As you can see am using my iPhone looking at a build mainly for gaming, not to fussed about SSD at he moment just wana see if anyone can see improvements

I like my fps/mmo very varied gamer, also looking to semi future proof also not sure about monitor nvr had a b grade monitor, mouse and keyboard can just get for xmas gift off someone so not included also OS not needed

Was maybe looking at the 5820k i7 a lot more money but is obviously future proofing

Thanks

But Bgrade monitor, why was it returned? dead pixels maybe? and the case may have marks on it, OcUK will not let you know the condition, it could be mint, it could not be.

Is 970 worth it for the type of monitor I'm getting also how important is it going from i5 to i7 for reducing bottleneck from the 970?

Also might Aswell get the 3tb hd 18 quid more?

 

[stulid]

For gaming and a single GFX card system the i5 is fine.

Storage is as much as you need.

I've filled a 3TB HDD and am now on my way to filling an extra 2TB HDD.

 

[TheGentry]

And does anyone have opinions on b grade monitor anyone had experience before getting one?

 

[stulid]

You can always send it back if you are not happy with it.

The good thing about Gsync is even when the frame rate are lower than the refresh rate it still looks smooth.


Going back to that AMD spec, it wont work anyway as the board does not support those big wattage CPU's = http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/990FX Extreme3/?cat=CPU

 

[TheGentry]

Always as an issue with amd haha fair play and yeah for the discount and since I'm running one card with not looking to upgrade in future for a very long while best gsync and 1440, 144hz

Hows that look then?

SLI ready board and a PSU with enough oomph to run two GTX970s.

 

[TheGentry]

Looks good to me cheers and love the case think I will stretch to the b grade one I mentioned my he gtx970 should run 1440 with ease even on tougher games I'll have the gsync to compensate
