Need Some Suggestions on Future Build

TheShiftyHaze · February 14, 2015

Hello everyone, so I'm building a computer around the Obutto R3volution and my budget for the computer is $4000 CAD (this doesn't include the R3volution). Id prefer to spend roughly $3500 but there's headroom if anything is worth it. The computer is going to mainly used for heavy gaming and watching movies. I have the majority of the build picked out and just need some suggestions on a few things.

The Parts:

Case: NZXT H440 (black and red color variant)

Motherboard: MSI Z97 Gaming 3 ATX LG1550

CPU: Intel i5 4690K

PSU: CM 600W (got one laying around)

Ram: Mushkin Enhanced Redline FROSTBYTE-G3-R 2X4GB

Graphics Card: Asus GTX 980 Strix

HDD: 2x 1TB WD blue drives

SSD: 128GB Samsung 850 Pro

Cooling: NZXT Kraken Series X61

Monitors: 3 (don't know what to get)

Keyboard: (don't know either)

Mouse: Logitech 6502 Proteus Core (just because I got one laying around)

Steering wheel: Logitech G27

UPS: APC 1500VA 865W (Power isn't very consistent in northern B.C)

Without taxes and shipping calculated it totals to $2,257.89 CAD

That leaves me with $1,242 (plus an extra 500 if its really needed) for the three monitors and keyboard .

So onto the three monitors, I'm looking for something between 24-27" (preferably 27") doesn't really matter to me if its TN, VA, or IPS. The main things I'm looking for is good response time and color and pretty thin bezels if possible, also 1920 x 1080 @ 60hz is fine for me. If the budget fits 144hz would be cool (I mostly play CS:GO and racing simulators if that helps at all)

Now the keyboard is a different story, I'm looking into an RGB mechanical keyboard that has in game color support. What i mean by this is, for example, on my friends Alienware M14x when he is playing dying light the keyboard changes color depending on whats going on. I tried some google searches and the only thing that i found was the roccat isku fx and unfortunately its a membrane keyboard. I've read that the SDK for the Logitech G910 allows users to create stuff like that but i couldn't find anything elaborating on it. Does anyone know if the Razer chroma keyboard or the Corsair RGB lineup support it and if they all don't which keyboard is the best in the end? I also do a lot of typing.

Many thanks in advance, and if there is anything that's more cost effective or is just worth the extra cash feel free to share those ideas as well.

NOTE: I am probably not purchasing this until sometime mid to late spring. and the color scheme is black and red (please keep that in mind if you suggest something instead of the parts i have planned out).
