[HmmR]

get better memory like g skill (i mean 4 x 4gb)

get a evga card?

nzxt phantom 230 is a old case might want to look for something new

a lg asus or benq monitor 

 

but that was just nit picking for problems

 

overall nice build u will overkill almost every game 1440p

Only complaint that hasn't been covered. Don't get 3TB drives. I don't know what is about them. But they always die quicker then like a 2TB or 4TB.

Oh, i was under the impression it was better to have 2 than more ram sticks?

 

Why evga instead of MSI? i heard the MSI card delivers pretty quiet performance 

 

i¨ll look for a newer one, i dont know much about cases. i just choose one that seemed large enough, looked good and had good reviews  

 

You don't think that monitor is good? Its an IPS, which as far as i know should mean good colors and excellent viewing angels, its 1080 which means my computer will stay powerful for longer(70% less pixels than 1440), its 60 hz which its perfectly fine for me. also eizo is said to be a good brand when it comes to monitors and this one seems to be designed for gaming and has gained good( but few ) reviews.

 

though if you know of any different monitor that would suit my needs please do share

hmm, interesting, Thanks!

 

One more question, as i said, i will be building this computer later in the year. will the parts i chose now still be viable( as the price would have decreased ) or should i choose new ones at that time? or would i be wise to i wait for a specific date for said new ones to arrive?

No, they won't. Broadwell, Skylake, AMD's R9 300 series have been announced, pricing and parts will change.

I suggest going over your parts again before you go and buy it. Just to make sure nothing better/cheaper has come out.
