Exactly. Which is why I'm torn. Lol Had to go really cheap on alot of parts to make the 1440 build as cheap as the 1080p build

Thats what I'm thinking too. This is my first build and I'm just worried about going with cheaper parts and then they fail on me.

Planning a build with tax returns, I got some ideas from another post I posted. I've been playing around on PCPartPicker and made 2 builds that are the same price. One is a 1070/1080p build with "high quality" parts and the other is 1080/1440p build but has "lower quality" parts.

Sounds good, thanks for the advice.

You're right shiv, not too worried about taxes, this is with the returns. You guys are giving me good ideas on how to use the budget. I'm liking sqeezing the 1080 in there. I would like G-Sync if possible, but if not I could live without if since I've never used a monitor with it anyway.

Planning my first build with tax returns. Would like to stay below $2000 USD. I need a monitor (just one, would like to do 1440 if possible) and keyboard which will need to be in the budget also. I already have a Steelseries Rival mouse. I'm at work and will respond to any questions when I get the chance. Thanks in advance.

Im not worried about the camera at all, I dont take a shit load of pictures. And I don't work my phones to death like some people, I don't play games all day. I've been on it pretty much since I got it downloading apps and trying different games, it hasn't gotten hot for me. And the screen looks fine to me too. I love it.

My first smart phone was the iPhone 4 when it first came out. I then had a Galaxy S2 for about a month (wasn't mine, was just using it). Then had another iPhone 4 for the last 2 years, so I had a phone that came out 5 years ago. Needless to say, it was time for a new phone. Well yesterday I went and got the HTC One M9 in gunmetal grey and I absolutely love it. It was between the M9 and the G4, I like the way the M9 feels in my hand better. I don't think I'll be going back to Apple. [emoji3]
