I want to play Just cause 3 and the new windows Forza game. Monitors Current monitor is a LG D23342 I am not certain of what route to take with display options. I am happy with 1080, i'd ideally like 3 monitors. to be perfectly honest I dont know what would suit my use case scenario best. Peripherals Mastercam is calling for windows 10 Pro so i will need to buy a copy of that, i have a mouse and keyboard. Why are you upgrading? I am starting to bring my work home with me and I need something a little more powerful than my current build. AMD FX-4100 Asus M5A79 evo 16GB corsair vengeance ram XFX 7950 Hardware Manufacturer preferences: I really like Asus motherboards and willing to pay the Asus tax. GPU wise, i like EVGA, Asus and XFX, but open to other options because I've never owned a card from the green team. Here is what I pieced together on PC part picker. i dont really know what i am doing and am probably being very inefficient with my budget.

Thanks! as for Forza on computer. I would eat that up! The game deserves more than a xbone can offer.

Hey, I just wanted to let those of you that play Forza 6 know that I have made a suite of Linus related liveries and logos that are available, you can either download a paint job I've made or get the logos separately and make your own liveries by searching "Linus". I have included some examples in this album.
