Hey guys, was just wondering if someone could help answer my question. I currently have a GTX 960 2gb running dual 1080p monitors. I was looking into replacing one of my monitors with a widescreen 1440p monitor. Although i dont know if my card would be able to handle it. I am not gaming on the 1440p monitor, I am mostly going to be using it to edit videos for my YouTube Channel. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

1440p gaming wouldn't look that good downscaled to 1080p, so if you get 1440p for the visual appearance for editing, maybe get a 1440p capable GPU later too. The 960 can push the pixels, but it won't game.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad
