I have the Corsair H150i Capellix in white. Works very well for me and looks nice, no problems so far in ~18months of daily gaming

Why don't you swap the PC to the DP port and use HDMI for the two consoles? From what I can find on the vg259qm it only runs at 240Hz on HDMI but 280Hz on DisplayPort. Seems like you're giving up quite a bit there.

What's the price difference? If it's a new build (or sell the rx 570) I'd go for a cheaper CPU and get a beefier GPU instead.
-
Budget (including currency): Not super strict but ideally under $1300, max $1500 Country: US Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Valorant, AAA singleplayer games (Jedi Fallen Order, new Spider-Man, etc). Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Planning to get a 1440p 144hz+ monitor, probably 27" or maybe a 34" UW. Is a 12600k + RTX 3070 good enough for this? I don't mind lowering settings a bit. What's the rough performance difference between 3060, 3060 ti, 3070, 3070 ti? It's been a long time since I've kept up with the PC space - it used to be me helping with these threads!! I really like the LianLi Q58 ITX case, but I think that will prove more expensive (mobo + SFX PSU) and then it is limited to smaller AIOs. I want as much white stuff as possible even if it costs a little more, and yes I do like RGB so at least the RAM, GPU, and CPU cooler should have RGB (and preferably also be white). I'm not quite sure how much I want to actually spend yet but was thinking 12600K plus a RTX 3070, which would be around $800-900, so I think overall ~$1300 might be reasonable? I need wifi so would prefer a motherboard with onboard wifi. If ITX is a big price difference I will just get a Phanteks G360a and fill it up with a big white AIO : )

You could take a look at Duet Display ($9.99 app) + used / new Base model iPad I'd try and see if you can find anyone using it for your use case to make sure it's as responsive as you need.
-
Yeah it won't make a significant difference, just get the cheaper one.

Need help with the planning I did for my first build
Shiv78 replied to Fan's topic in New Builds and Planning
If you use pt.pcpartpicker.com it will show you prices from merchants in Portugal. The setup you have now, minus the motherboard, is 2011€. -
pcpartpicker.com is a great resource.

Need help choosing a new cpu
Shiv78 replied to @roboter5123's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Yeah, as above I'd probably wait for the next AMD CPU generation. I'm surprised, the 2600 should still be a pretty capable chip. -
Take a look at the Phanteks P200a as well, it's a bit taller than the NR200 but almost the same footprint, and has a glass side panel and great airflow.
-
Should be fine since you can't overclock on that motherboard anyways.
-
What's wrong with your current system? Looks like a great gaming machine to me.

I think Reds (linear) and Browns (tactile) are the same "volume". They do have slightly different actuation forces though, with the Red being a bit lighter
