Hello all, looking for some opinions on my new build. As you can see I'm running a 144hz monitor at the moment which I love. So I hope this build will be able to take advantage of it even more than my current one. Looking to do some light streaming, perhaps video editing on my Youtube channel. I currently have: i5 3570K @ 4.2ghz, 8GB DDR3 Ram @ 2400mhz. Works nicely, but struggles on CPU intensive games like BF1. I will be getting Destiny on launch and plan on playing that mostly and take advantage of all the beautiful frames lol.
I know the RAM is alittle extra..but the current build I have is actually a friends old computer that I bought cheaply. It has no flash or personality, and this time around I wanted to get an RGB strip to go along side the RAM to switch it up whenever I felt like it.
