Multi-purpose $2000 build [Need positive criticism/suggestions]

[AsrielDreemurr]

Alright. I've spent a bit of time working on this and I'd appreciate your input on it :3

http://pcpartpicker.com/user/GroundHound101/saved/#view=NnZtt6

 

[Some explanations before you post - My attempt of answering questions that I think will be asked]

1. Q: What exactly are the purposes?

1. A: Gaming, motion design and editing.

2. Q: Why 144hz?

2. A: Osu, GD, and Cs:Go.

3. Q: Where's the mech keyboard?

3. A: Too loud ;3; 

3.1. Q: But why not get MX Silent switches or an Apex M800?
3.1. A: Well, because I don't like the look of mx silent keyboards and I've heard stories about how the M800 isn't good for typing etc.

3.2. Q: If you don't want the M800 because it's not good for typing, then why the Apex?

3.2. A: It looks nice, has features I'd like such as macros and customization backlight, isn't very loud and it's rubber dome, something I'm used to.

4. Q: Back on the story of monitors, why two 144hz monitors? Why not 1 144hz and 1 60hz and spare some money?

4. A: Because I like symmetry :3

4.1. Q: You're doing motion design. Why not IPS?

4.1. A: Response time, or whatever it's called, is generally above 1ms, so nope.

5. Q: 1tb black. 1tb blue. Why...

5. A: 1tb black for main stuff. 1tb blue for recording videos and motion design. It uses more data than you think.

6. Q: Um... Headphones...

6. A: I use earphones because I find headphones break easily 8)

7. Q: Gtx 980? Where's the R9 390/X?

7. A: Alright. Personal preference says Nvidia. It's just a personal preference. Not trying to be a fanboy or anything like that. If you see me as one, then, okey 8)

 

Got anymore questions? Ask away 8)

Why Haswell Refresh but not Skylake?

Can't really find a use for ddr4/5th/6th gen intel cpus. I'll consider it, but I"m trying to keep a black and white color scheme. Reason being?

Got no use for Skylake. Improvement isn't very significant over Haswell Refresh. There may be one, but I don't see a reason for me needing it.

Why aren't you going X99?

And why not just get one better display? This one is 1440p 144hz IPS and has free-sync(30-144hz)

 

Might even be worth getting a 380X for the time being as all the new stuff is coming in june apparently.

Skylake isn't much more expensive than Haswell. With X-99 The motherboards are a bit more expensive. There is no point in getting something that is older when the newer hardware isn't much more expensive.

I need dual screens. Vital. My one screen cracked so I'm back to my one laptop screen and it's very difficult to work around. Another thing, I was never really a fan of curved monitors. Not sure why. And also, you wrote monitor twice 8)

Same reason. Can't find a significant use for x99. Also, I need 2 displays. Vital.

I'll think about it. Can you put the 4790k and 6700k into proportion gaming wise so I can decide easier?

So then get one good main display, and just like a 1080p 60hz IPS secondary display? This one's $100 and has VESA compatibility

https://pcpartpicker.com/part/aoc-monitor-i2269vw

It's silly to buy 2 sub par displays when you can easily afford a high end display. If nothing else then buy free-sync 1080p 144hz display, because they cost nearly the same

$269 comes with highly adjustable stands

https://pcpartpicker.com/part/nixeus-monitor-nxvue24a
 

You go X99, just because, if not then buy a Xeon 1231v3 if you just want 8 threads on the cheap, there's no reason not to go X99 for your budget, the motherboards are trivially more expensive at that point, and then you get a 6 core 12 thread CPU that you'll never have to replace

I'll think about the displays and the x99.

Thanks :3 Guess it is quite better

Mechs are worth every penny you pay for them, and if you want silence you can go with a keyboard with MX Browns or Reds if you want even less noise, install some O-rings.

 

I know it's personal preference but why don't you like the clickity-clackity of mechs? A mech that doesn't keep someone two blocks away from you awake all night is a sad excuse for a mech.

It's because I do commentary and I can't afford click-a-de-clack in the microphone's recording.

I'd just buy the devestator II combo for $30 and call it a day

 

or get reds with O-rings, or Blacks, if you want a harder key press
