I want to game at 4k...........well

However I need a small, low electricity using, low heat producing high performance machine.

Just the base unit. Budget is £2k as I already have the screen and peripherals.

Main games will be Blizzard games and Battlefield games.

what case is that?

Electricity bill, also have very confined space to so need small computer and it needs to be quiet.

Just ordered the following:

6700k CPU
Asus Z170 MATX
Corsair H100i GTX
Corsair Carbide 240
32gb Corsair Memory
2 x Asus ATI Nano
Corsair 1000w psu
1 x 1tb Samsung SSD

Is there significant performance difference between 1x ssd and 2x ssd in raid?

Are the nano loud?

I have got the asus gsync 4k monitor

superwide's are too large and I find the image looks stretched, especially in some blizzard games.

ah your right, ill cancel the monitor order

Im going water cooling on the cpu

Also is it worth putting in a second ssd for raid 0?

Just trying to way up going for a 4k screen or a freesync 1440p

image quality is really important to me, but ghosting is no no

cancelled the nanos and went for the 980ti strix oc edition, apparently the fastest 980ti

looking at the asus 1440p gsync now
