Hi Guys,

 

I'm planning to build a PC in early 2016 with a budget of 3000$(more or less, mostly more), however some of the money will be used to buy Corsair K70 RGB keyboard including a monitor (mouse,etc i already have them). I live in Indonesia, so some brands and models are not available. The prices here is also higher than what u guys get. But some prices are lower than u guys (maybe the some of the manufacturers are near my country).

 

I just entered college this year and my major is Game Development, there will be a lot of designing, 3D works, and some of my own projects. I want this build to be able to do all that stuffs and heavy Gaming as well, i usually play games like Farcry, GTA, COD, BF4,etc (High-Ultra settings with 60+ FPS). i want this to be future proof as well.

 

I dont know if i should get a  24 inch 1080P 144Hz, G-sync( is G-sync that important for Gaming ?), 1 ms response time Or a 1440P screen ? i had some candidates for the 1080p screens like Asus ROG SWIFT PG278Q and BenQ XL2420G 144Hz 24.0" Monitor.Or Asus VG248QE is enough ? i don't really get why people buy multiple monitors and one will be enough for me.

 

Should i get windows 8.1 or 10 ? will there be any driver problems if i get 10 ?

 

Notes:

- they don't sell EVGA PSUs here.

Available brands are Corsair, Seasonic, enermax, NZXT, SuperFlower, Thermaltake, Cooler Master, Xigmatek,etc

- idk what's the best 980Ti, Give me your personal reviews on yours

- Watercooler or air ?

- Why a sound card?  some review of the motherboard reports that the soundcard from mobo is not that good

 

EDIT: I might get this earlier than i thought, maybe before christmas

I would suggest hitting the 1440p market for monitors--when you get there of course. They are a few bucks more than the average 1080p gaming monitor but look a whole lot sweeter :)

 

Good build by the way. Just look back through the market when you build and make sure you get the best stuff that won't cost an arm-n-a-leg!

...edit your post and erase the fluff and use pc part picker bb codes

Come back when your actually going to build it half a year in the tech world can make a big difference.

i guess 1080p is overkill for 980Ti, does refresh rate and response time matters for a 1440p screen ?
