1440P Gaming Build

Go to solution Solved by Kuzma,

Im not sure how. i'm new to the forums  :wacko:

It's next to quote ^_^

I changed a few things. 

 

GTX 780 for better performance at 1440P

Cheaper SSD 

 

Im gonna stay with this PSU because of its Price mostly because I'm going over budget . Gonna be overclocking to 4.5GHz or higher. Going to be playing Call Of Duty, Planet Side 2, GTA 5, Battlefield 4.

I only have one game on the SSD at once. My othergames will be stored on my HDD. When I want to play with the SSD I'll just swap the games

so where is the storage drive?

Because it's that simple to transfer games to & from drives. Priorities seem out of whack, ever so slightly lol

Would I would recommend to you is quite simply taking the HDD out of that external enclosure and throwing it in your rig. Unless you need it for some external reason that is of course.

Console optimisations and how they will effect you | The difference between AMD cores and Intel cores | Memory Bus size and how it effects your VRAM usage |
How much vram do you actually need? | APUs and the future of processing | Projects: SO - here

Intel i7 5820l @ with Corsair H110 | 32GB DDR4 RAM @ 1600Mhz | XFX Radeon R9 290 @ 1.2Ghz | Corsair 600Q | Corsair TX650 | Probably too much corsair but meh should have had a Corsair SSD and RAM | 1.3TB HDD Space | Sennheiser HD598 | Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro | Blue Snowball

I didnt know I could take out the actual hard drive but I'll probably do that or buy one. I only use it for movies and such. Does the build seem good?

Looks fine :p I'd personally go for 2x7950s but to avoid messing around with crossfire the 780 will be fine ^_^

also what do you think about 1440P vs 144hz gaming?

Hmm... resolution vs smoothness... Keeping a solid 144FPS is probably not going to happen with high settings xD with anything as we start to get next gen games coming out; so I think 1440p is superior :p but if you're going to be playing games you know you're going to be getting 144FPS in then :p sure go for it!
