Best Gaming PC

[monjanger]

Hey all, its monjanger here and I wanted to show you guys my future build. This build needs to be future proof. I play BF4 at max with 1440P, COD Ghost MAX 1440p ETC ETC. I also use lots of editing software and am looking into purchases an oculus rift. I may even consider custom loop water cooling if I can hire someone to do it for me. I am not a big spender, but the time has come! Years after years of saving, selling's and hard work! Here it is! You guys know the feeing right!

UPDATED BUILD

[Tro]

Thats awesome Make a build log?

[Anthony10]

Looks pretty good! I would raise the PSU to 850w though for overclocking headroom and because it's good to have more than you need (better for your psu life span, fan wont be at 100% all the time, etc) even with the lower tdp of maxwell

Do you have a monitor already or are you looking for 1440p suggestions?

Use the quote button to notify me if you respond please

650W PSU for that kind of system? I don't really think so. Nice build anyway

I am looking into monitor and I am really lost! 1440P with a lower response time if possible! Can really find any! Thanks!

Upgrade the PSU and start a build log 

[CowsGoRoar]

Bigger PSU and why mATX? You wanted it to be futureproof (more time before upgrade) but you won't have as much expansion.

What is your budget? The top of the line is the ASUS RoG Swift 144hz 1ms 1440p 27in g sync monitor at a hefty $800, but you can get cheap korean 1440p monitors for as low as $300, and I think 120hz/144hz 1440p monitors do not exist besides the rog swift. The in between option is any ips/pls 1440p monitor which will be limited to 60hz and 5ms response time, but the response time should not matter with 4ms difference unless you are a professional gamer. The 60hz may affect smooth gameplay and cause screen tearing, but the IPS/PLS panel will offer great picture quality (accurate colors & great viewing angles). I would recommend the ASUS Pb278Q or upcoming the ASUS pb278qr that is essentially the same as the pb278q but uses an ips panel.

60HZ is fine, I use the asus vn247h-p currently and its 60hz, has a 1ms response time and 1080P. Love it, but with this build I need an upgrade.

Okay in that case I would keep my recommendations of the asus pb 278q or pb 278qr. they wont be much different but the qr should have a slightly better panel and the release date is unknown I believe, supposively in next few months

This build needs to be future proof.

There is no such thing.

Why micro atx? Atx form factor motherboards have more features.
