[kyle_schofield]

This is my build and i want to know if everything is compatible and if it wont bottle neck ... Open to any suggestions.

GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 960 2GB Video Card

 

RAM: Kingston Fury 8GB (2x4gb) DDR3 - 1600

 

MOTHERBOARD: MSI Z97 GAMING 5 MOTHERBOARD 

 

PSU: EVGA 600W 80+ Bronze certified ATX power supply

 

CASE: NZXT H440 Mid tower case

 

SSD: Intel 530 series 240GB 

 

HDD: Toshiba 1TB @ 7200 RPM 

 

COOLER: Corsair h100i All in one liquid cooler 

 

Need suggestions on a monitor, want it to have a 3ms or less response time and want it to be around 24"

That build is perfect man

[anders_b]

i don't know much about monitors but the build looks good

[blu4]

Very good build mate. Personally I'd swap the HDD for a 1TB WD Green.

[Bouzoo]

It's compatible, but you could save money if you go for non z mbo since you won't be overclocking and psu is overkill, by a lot. Save money on that and pick a 280x.

Edit:and stock cooler is gonna be fine

Uhm ,why do you have a CPU cooler and a Z series chipset when you cant overclock your CPU?

[Sam Z Man]

I'm not the first one to say this but 280X is the same price point and outperforms the 960 in all the ways.

[Johannes_Lazor]

Go down to a h97 board since you wont overclock,

Change the 960 to a R9 280x, It has more Vram and slightly higher performance often at a lower price.

I'd say something along those lines without the monitor, as for that, I think someone else will help you better than I can. I could recommend the one that I have, it's a 23.6'', 5 ms matte IPS, and it's gorgeous, don't know if you will notice the difference between 3 and 5ms.

EDIT: You could get 8GB of RAM, I just put 16GB as an option so you could see if it fits your budget

Do you reckon a  MSI H97-Gaming 3 motherboard would be better

[Johannes_Lazor]

Do you reckon a  MSI H97-Gaming 3 motherboard would be better

Yup, The motherboard doesnt affect the performance, Choose whatever is cheaper.

[Bouzoo]

Do you reckon a  MSI H97-Gaming 3 motherboard would be better

Better? Yes. More expensive? Yes. More Features? Yes. Difference in gaming? No. Btw what budget are you on? That could help a lot. This was a combo of gaming pc and mid range budget.

[squid4fl]

Dont get an H100i! Its loud and you dont need the cooling performance. The stock cooler would be sufficient or go for a different air cooler.

In that case you can go with this, but that's also w/o the monitor.
