Also would I be better off with a lower end 144hz display like this:

or a 75hz like this:

I could afford this config here with a 3600 but could only get a 75hz monitor for now:

Please just stick to one post, and ensure you quote when you reply. We get notified of your response when you do.

 

 

Regarding your most recent list though- why did you change the power supply back? It's lower quality, and you don't gain anything from having an extra 50w.

 

Also change the motherboard back to what I also had listed. This board doesn't even have vrm heatsinks.

 

Your max budget, including a monitor- is what?

Sorry for the multi post.

I didnt realise that the psu was lower quality.

I also didnt notice no heatsink on the motherboard as im quite new to this.

Including monitor and full peripherals is around £900

Then I left about 40 for a fair mouse and keyboard.

I wouldn't need that 2.5tb of storage. I am currently on a 128gb macbook and have only used around 60gb, so if I went with a 1tb hdd and a 240gb could save enough for some headphones aswell?

Wouldnt cut the SSD down, but sure. If you don't need the 2TB knock it down and save 20 bucks.

 

I also edited my list just slightly for another case.
