Is this a good build?

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/gGKVycI want this build to be able to run bf4 on ultra on atleast 60fps no problem, I was thinking to get a GTX 970 X2 in that but not sure, I WAS also thinking about getting a I7 as I might want to start making videos in the future.

At 1080p a 980 is a little overkill, heck even a 970 is more than enough for 1080p 60 on BF4, why not look into 1440p monitors?

 

an I7 would help in rendering video and also if you decide to stream etc

What processor would you add but not trying to overprice things and maybe a 1440p monitor? what kind

[techguru]

consider the i7..

id probably go with a wd blue to black for the drive

id switch to a seasonic black power supply

and instead of wireless..id probably either hardwire it...or if thats not an option...use a powerline adapter kit...if you have modern copper wiring

[techguru]

look at some of the 2K monitors

for that high end gpu..a 2k monitor makes more sense

Ethernet is not a option for me right now. It will be in the future.

Honestly it depends on your budget, 4790k is a great processor, or get a 4690k if you want to go down the i5 route

 

cheap 1440p decent monitor, maybe sometihng like the AOC I have the Q2770PQU or Asus PB278Q, whichever is cheaper - there are some 144hz 1440p TN monitors and also, IF you have the cash, 1440p IPS 144hz Gsync panels - though they are not cheap.....

The ROG Swift is great,  but the new Acer is better, since its also IPS! (linus recently reviewed it and its not his favourite gaming monitor of choice)

But either is a good choice, personally I just dont like TN screens

aren't IPS monitors not good for  gaming?

Where did you hear that?, they have slightly slower pixel response rate, but have better colours and viewing angles

 

Unless you are a professional CS:GO player, I would rather have a nicer looking game, I can still come top of a 64man player BF4/Hardline server on my AOC 1440p 60hz panel

 

the new Acer is only about 3ms slower than the ROG swift - an almost impercievable amount and a worth trade off for more accurate nicer colours and wider viewing angles

It's entirely down to your perception, if you feel you want to eliminate every single potential bottleneck for your performance, getting a TN Swift means you are getting a very very fast monitor instead of just a very fast one

 

I am sure there are many players playing on super slow crappy monitors, and you probably manged to get where you are on a much worse display

 

Some people just wont notice it, 

 

Dont forget, you cant turn off Gysnc on the acer and enable ULMB at 100hz, so you get basically NO motion blur - great for fast moving shooters

 

it also has one of the lowest latency values on TFT Centrals tests - dont forget pixel response rate (the monitors MS rating) is not the ONLY lag  - there is also input lag

 

there are some 1ms displays that have 4 to 5 ms of input lag! 

 

You can see it compared to the swift here
