Im planning on making a new, super cool, PC and I want some opinions on my setup.

GPU: ASUS STRIX GTX 970

RAM: 8GB ADATA DDR3 (1866)

Storage: WD Blue 1TB 7200RPM

Mobo: ASUS Maximus VII Hero (LGA 1150)

PSU: Corsair CX600M

Case: Rosewill BLACKHAWK ATX Mid

Monitor: HP W2072a Black 20" 5ms

Thoughts? Issues? Reccomendations?

i5 6970 doesn't exist nor would it even be compatible with a LGA 1155 socket.

Is it just me or is Grammar slowly becoming extinct on LTT?

Sorry for my likley (many) typos I meant to say 1150 as no LGA 1155 version of the Maximus VII Hero

Then my only other thought is that monitor, but if that is all you afford right now - whatever but I would hope you plan on buying a better one.

I would get a better monitor. Monitors are things you typically don't upgrade that often.

 

When was the last time you heard someone say "Aw sweet! New monitors are getting released today! I'm going to buy one!" Then do just that again every time newer and better monitors come out?
