Got any idea of a monitor that won't bottleneck?

If you want to run at 1080p, then you will need a 144hz monitor, and those get kind of pricey

No but building a whole new PC with a 980Ti and a 1080p monitor indicates the priorities are wrong.

Then look at the original budget, then look at all the other compromises just to fit a 980Ti in there with a reason given of "Because" and you'll get his point.

Reminds me of that clown who bought a Titan X for a 1024 monitor, and his PSU couldn't power it, it kept black screening whenever he played a game. But at least he has a Titan X right?

My suggested build isn't too bad. 2.5K ultrawide with a 980Ti, 4690K, and solid 750W PSU.

That SSD is complete shit, they changed it so it uses cheaper components than it launched with.

Chipset needs to be updated to work with that CPU. Trash SSD, you are better off with a regular HDD and low quality PSU. These are the things that need to be changed, as well as the monitor to a 1440p, if you are getting a 980ti only for 1080p you might as well get a 970 and max out every game for half the price.
