That one in particular was about to go on sale for $200. As for applications, programming, some graphic design, and of course gaming

I looked at all the specs and everything seems to be alright, but I just wanted a sanity check. Thanks in advance!

@SpookyCitrus I did not include storage since I plan on taking my drives out of my current PC and moving them over. I do like your proposed build that you recommended though. I think I may go with that. Thank you everyone for your input by the way!

The only time I ever went AMD on something was when I got a graphics card, I think it was a Radeon r9 380 or something. It was quite a while back. My experience was not completely bad, but I did not really like the software all that much and did have quite a few problems at the time. I am sure it has changed now, but I am not 100% sure on going full AMD primarily because of my lack of experience with them. I may reconsider though. Either way, I will definitely keep what you said in mind. As it does sound like a pretty good solution. Thank you for the reply! Edit: Also, my monitor does not have freesync, it only has G-Sync. So I would ideally like to stay with Nvidia for that reason as well.

I intend to build a new gaming PC over the holiday season. My ideal budget is around $1,000 USD (I can go a little higher if need be). My aim is to have a PC that has great upgrade potential so I can easily swap things out down the line. The current games I mainly play are Rainbow Six Siege, Besiege, Arma 3, World of Warships, and Assassins Creed Odyssey. I also intend on getting COD: Modern Warfare, Cyberpunk, and Ghost Recon Breakpoint upon their respective releases. I have one Dell monitor at 2560x1440 that runs at 144hz with G-Sync (My primary), and two secondary ultrawide LG Monitors that run at 2560x1080 at 60hz. I would ideally like to be able to play the previously mentioned games, and the new ones that are coming out at native resolution at 144hz on my primary monitor at around medium-high settings or better. With this in mind, how is this build?

And whatever parts I end up finally picking I also intend to do some deal hunting on to try and lower the price. The only thing I really have my heart set on is the Z370 Chipset (although it does not have to be that specific motherboard), and ideally an i9 gen processor. The reason being so that I can potentially get some optane in the future. Storage is not a problem, as I intend to take the drives out of my current PC and swap them over. Thanks in advance!

I just got my three monitor set up going yesterday and I have found that during any kind of gaming my computer seems to randomly freeze up and or full on crash. I have two LG 34" Ultrawides (https://www.amazon.com/LG-Electronics-34UM67-34-Inch-LED-lit/dp/B00VBNQJSM?tag=linus21-20). One vertically mounted on the right hand side in Portrait (flipped) orientation, and the other above my Dell S2716DGR in Landscape Flipped orientation. I am very pleased with my new Dell monitor (First proper gaming monitor.), however, whenever I play anything at all, whether it be Rainbow Six Siege, Age of Empires 3, or Starcraft remastered, at some point during the session, even with particularly non-intensive moments in game, the game will either freeze and/or crash. Sometimes with no error report or anything, other times with a "Send Error Report", although no extended view to actually read up about the error. Sometimes the PC will even completely freeze up and reboot itself. As far as my PC build goes. I have a MSI Vortex G65VR 7RD (Intel Z170, 16GB DDR4 2400Mhz SO-DIMM, 450W PSU, Intel i7-7700 CPU, Discrete MXM GTX 1060 6GB), 120GB SSD, 1TB HDD. I have the Ultrawides hooked up via HDMI (Same cables I was using on them before.), and the Dell hooked up via a male display port mini to male normal display port connector. I have no issues with the monitors or PC when I am watching videos, have 2-3 windows open on each monitor at the same time, doing some photo editing, or any other productivity/entertainment work. This only happens when I am specifically gaming. When gaming all the parameters for my hardware is within normal operating limits. Temps are fine, a little bit of voltage throttling here and there on the GFX Card, but otherwise none that I think would be out of the ordinary really. Nothing is overclocked. The fan is not turbo-ing up to max at all or anything. And then, out of the blue, the game will crash and/or become completely unresponsive, and then I must try and kill the program via task manager; or the game might crash and after a few moments the PC will reboot itself with no blue screen or anything. And yes, ALL of my drivers are updated. Overall, here are my hypothesizes based on some research I did. - Could it be the GTX 1060 just cannot handle the extra ultrawides regardless of what is on them while it is trying to contend with the 2k 144Hz Dell monitor in a game? - Some bug in G-Sync? - I read something about some audio bug with Nvidia graphics drivers? Maybe? Although a bit out there. - Maybe the cable I got for the Dell (Display Port Mini to Normal Display port) is somehow causing it? Please help me guys. I really am at a loss here. And I would prefer to keep the current setup I just got as it is really awesome. When it is working that is. Also, just in case you misunderstood. I am not trying to set up Surround with PhysX or anything. Thank you all in advance!

I currently own 2 LG 34" Ultrawide Monitors (https://www.amazon.com/LG-Electronics-34UM67-34-Inch-LED-lit/dp/B00VBNQJSM) and was considering upgrading one of them to something that is higher resolution and that has a higher refresh rate, (Rainbow Six Siege being the main game I play) in order to take advantage of Black Friday (Or Cyber Monday). I was thinking 144Hz at 2560x1440 (I like the increased vertical resolution) with 1ms response time. I also do some photo editing and video work, so decent color accuracy would be preferred. My main questions are: 1. Would it be hard to adjust from these ultrawides if I got a 27" or thereabouts? 2. What recommendations can you guys offer for around the $200 mark with a max of $300. As far as my PC build goes. I have a MSI Vortex G65VR 7RD (Intel Z170, 16GB DDR4 2400Mhz SO-DIMM, 450W PSU, Intel i7-7700 CPU, Discrete MXM GTX 1060 6GB) Thank You in Advance!
