Oh man, I would go with a 144hz monitor, but I'd need a new GPU to take advantage of it, might get a 1070 as a Christmas present to myself this year though.

Some paid versions come with mobile protection, password encryption, firewall etc. But generally in most circumstances, free is more than enough.

I would try to stretch your budget a little further and purchase a cheaper SSD, you will notice massive improvements.

You definitely won't shorten your SSD's life drastically, if at all by loading it up.

3-4 years I would say, due to high temperatures in laptops.

Spotify and steam, well most applications will benefit from being installed on an SSD, so go for it.

For 40$ it would be great and your motherboard would include SATA cables.

I like apple products, they are well 'designed' and appeal to general users. But by no means would I purchase an IMac.

1. Middle monitor can be set as primary in display settings and the others 2 and 3. 2. Yep, you can set your middle monitor as your primary and games will be displayed on it while the others are used for something else. 3. I would go for the 1070 and you should get a steady 60fps on 1440p. 4. Personal preference.

Can't agree more with GDRRiley, you will see a massive boost in performance with an SSD.

2133mhz for your CPU is meant to be a spec for what their CPU's are stable at I believe, but doesn't mean it wont work at 2666mhz, stably. As for your RAM it will definitely work and is supported by your motherboard, but you may need to set its speed in the BIOS. Also, it wont hurt your CPU and it is not necessary to overclock.

Yeah BF1 is extremely CPU intensive, it happens to me too, don't worry about it.

I wont post another build seeing as others have already given great suggestions, but I would recommend searching for a different monitor, I have two of them and they are very dull and boring compared to other 1080p's I have used.

I'm a big fan of the NZXT S340 Elite, if that's your thing.

4k smoothly on AAA titles isn't really a thing yet.
