I've bought majority of my build, and now I just have a few things left, though I haven't really looked around for monitors much, I was hoping if you guys could suggest some that aren't too expensive.
I'm looking roughly max $200.00 CAD to spend on the monitor, mouse and keyboard I'm satisfied with the CM Devastator Bundle.

Though for the SSD, Should I get the Samsung Evo or Crucial MX100?

Lastly, I was considering the Swiftech 240X and expand from there for my loop, but people were saying that it's not worth and the pump won't be able to handle the expansion. If that's the case should I just stick with the NZXT Kraken X61?
Also but not least, where's a good place to buy some Sleeved Cables for the PSU?

Samsung Evo would perform better.

are these in $CAD or $US?

[dizmo]

No video card?

I see you made the classic "mistake" most people do. Spent a ton on the system, yet next to nothing on the items you interact with the most.

Never understood that choice.

 

Edit: I see the card now. That's horrendously over priced.

[BLCT]

That's pretty great IMHO. But why spend $525 on a gtx 970, when you can get a 980 with about $55 more ? you can get a MSI GTX Twin Frozr 980 for $554.99 atm at Newegg.

[dizmo]

Erm...look at where they were purchased from, and his location and you might get your answer

The video card is there. It's listed as "others".

Sorry thought PCPP would add in the type of currency on the bbcode

 

Samsung Evo would perform better.

Alright

What do you mean by the "classic mistake"

Yeah it was a bit overpriced but I really like it and it fits my theme .

I forgot to mention it's CAD. So the cheapest 980 before I got it was about $620.00, I would of spent another $100.00 plus it was technically a gift, the only thing I purchased was the CPU, the rest is a gift from my family

I said right after that quoted text

You have a beast rig and you're going to spend next to nothing on the things you interact with the most. The monitor, mouse and keyboard.

It's like having a Ferrari engine, and putting it into a Honda Civic body. Yeah, you have power, but the experience and looks aren't nearly what they could have been.

Samsung Evo would perform better.

IMHO, I prefer Intel 730 SSD, It's not the fastest yes, but at least it's deadly reliable.

ok thanks, just making sure

get the new samsung evo 850 if you can, much faster than most other ssds, if you want an even faster ssd, you can get a pcie mounted one like the Mushkin scorpion or the Samsung xp941 with an M.2 x4 expansion card (I'm getting the xp941 for my new x99 build, recieved it a few days ago, waiting for the motherboard to come, really excited to try it out)

 

Otherwise, the build seems good to me but if you want to upgrade to more graphics card later, you might want to change the power supply to a more powerful one, best of luck on your build

Well, I've used the CM Devastator for a while, and it feels quite well to me, because I play mostly on low DPI for most games, and keyboard is still a mechanical keyboard

As for monitor, I don't really know what to get for it, got any suggestions? Convince me to spend more if possible

Ohh alright, let me know how it turns out for you  

 

3/10 at best

What would you change if you find that the build is that low of a rating? 

[PercySavageEG]

Ohh alright, let me know how it turns out for you

I'll try my best to remember to get back to you

 

Edit: PS: love the profile picture btw, I followed through the whole second season of SAO, watching new episodes as soon as it came out, liked the ending

Dell U2414H, or perhaps something 1440p. PB278Q, U2715h, something of that nature.
