Go to solution Solved by dizmo,

Looks nice, I can't really see any issues. I was going to say upgrade the motherboard to one with built in WiFi, but it seems you've axed that requirement.

You don't seem to have a cooler. I believe you need one with that CPU, and definitely need one with a build of this price.

I'd go with a Western Digital hard drive, or at least something better than the Barracuda line from Seagate; if it has to be Seagate, look at their Enterprise drives.

 

 

i intend to go overkill and i plan to add one more 1440p panel after i completed this build

2 panels doesn't matter, you'd (hopefully) only be gaming on one.

If you really want to max out the 1440p 144hz, I think this build makes sense. A ton of money to spend though.

 

 

duh sorry im newbies to building rig actually  :wacko: how bout the cooler? got any good picks?


 

Some form of liquid cooler. There's lots, Corsair and the Kraken line are both nice.

you don't need a wired adapter, the motherboard is fully capable of accepting gigabit ethernet

Well corsair fans are not the best

They are louder than other fans at the same speed.

 

There is a better monitor in town, the Asus Swift PG279Q (main difference is that it has a IPS panel, which has better colors).

 

And the mouse, eeeh would personally not recommend it but if you like the shape or whatever go with it
