Would you go for a 4k monitor or stick with a 144hz gaming one?


Thanks
 
Not sure really just wanted a motherboard with X fire and an i7 4790k processor. I really don't know what the difference between the 2 motherboards are. I am learning as I go along as this will be the first pc I have built. Am sure someone with the knowledge will be able to advise. (Sorry I am not much help)

I just want to double check that the case will be a good choice for the above or would you go with the 450D Corsair one? and is the power supply selected ok for the 295x2? (It says it needs 2 8 pin connectors).

Once these are sorted the big shinny Buy now button will be pressed :-)
 
Case is great and the way it hides the psu+cables in the 2nd chamber makes its child's play to do a neat build inside the component section, pity the water colour is not more "black"
 
Thanks Stulid, just ordered went for the h105i as the 295x2 is due in on 10/09 so should hopefully come around the same time :)
Can't wait going to be sweet, just need to read up on how to build now (when I say read I mean watch some YouTube vids).
 
Well there's not actually that many 5.1 options in stock so I think you can pretty much pick one like the Microlabs at £85.
