144hz with a 750ti?? Unless you are playing something like osu you will probably not even hit 100....

[athesean1]

for the same price as the 750 ti you can get a 270x or 270 from amd

Use earphones in school (a headset is wayy too bulky imo). 

I presume your budget is 1200$

I went 50 dollars over D: Do you have warrenty for your headset then? If not i would suggest getting g430 

[Tim Drake]

That's a great build dude! I would recommend two 4gb ram sticks and to upgrade the graphics card further down the line.

 

To everyone saying don't get the monitor, it's better to blow it all out on a monitor preparing for when you upgrade your computer to save you money further down the line.

 

Wouldn't recommend a "Corsair" headset though considering I didn't even know they made them lol

 

P.S any reason you went for that motherboard?

This is an amazing build, I would seriously recommend all of these products. Only thing I would change would be the keyboard to a Corsair K70.
