so ive been thinking of taking a slow upgrade path to get some new parts instead of buying a new PC right away, like buying a better monitor then getting a better PSU, storage drives, etc, so im not spending a heap of money fast and have a chance to test the product and give it some use, what are your thoughts on this? would doing this be better then saving a heap of money to buy a new complete rig or? was first planning on buying a better monitor first a G-sync monitor then getting a better PSU cause im planning on doing a SLI build in the future

 

 

 

also side note, is it worth gaming at 1440p or is it better to stick at 1080p for now? if 1440p i was thinking of getting the asus rog monitor 144Hz G-Sync monitor

I would buy a badass rig that looks nice and works great then use it for 5 years before upgrading. I did the slow upgrade thing, currently looking for a new CPU and to be honest it sucks because something is always bottlenecked or new things that don't work with old things.

i'd recommend just saving a heap of dough and go all out on a badass pc

thou, if you want g-sync and already have gpu for it, go for it

but if you're gonna upgrade it slowly, there will always be something  that's old in your PC and doesn't quite "fit" in the build

A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it.

heres what i currently got http://pcpartpicker.com/p/7M7ksY

 

 

i think the 780ti is g-sync capable, should probably look into that first haha but a new PSU wouldnt really hurt at the moment and as for going for a completely new rig i was waiting on till skylake gets released and seeing some performance numbers from it, maybe upgrade to devils canyon cause they are sure to go down in price
