Final Questions for First Build

[DJHOWARD1]

Budget (including currency): $1300 USD

Country: United States

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Apex, Assassins Creed Odyssey, Bioshock Infinite

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): https://pcpartpicker.com/user/DJHOWARD1/saved/4CyVFT

I have most of my parts figured out but there are a few changes I would like to make and I need some help.

I would like a 1080p 144hz monitor that is a little cheaper

A keyboard you would suggest

A 1 TB SSD instead of my current one

As well as any other suggestions you have

Thanks

Monitor wise for 1080p 144hz I wouldn't spend more than $170

SSD

Keyboards are all preference...

I have a Corsair Strafe RGB that I've had for about 6 years with no issues..

Thanks for the help. Would this be a good monitor? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0865GK92R?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1

Compared to your original monitor you listed the primary difference that I noted was the panel type. The monitor listed in your pcpartpicker list is a IPS and the one you just linked is a VA panel. I use both panel types in my build at home. If its just for gaming VA would be just fine. If you are curious about the differences I've linked an explanation.

Looks fine. I'd definitely go to a 1tb ssd because your budget allows for it as well as a better card .

I'm not exactly sure where you would find a 3060ti at a decent price or even at all so unless you have one already/ found a seller I'd steer away from it

Hmm, alright. Make sure you list that when you make the thread. If you have 1300 dollars after the gpu buy getting a 1440p monitor and a 12700f wouldn't be a bad idea. if you have 1300 dollars including the gpu then this is what I would do

I would spend the extra ~20 dollars to get an ips panel

Maybe a psu with a slightly higher wattage for the future?
