Pc Build Approval/Suggestions

[Watkinzzz]

Hey Guys, im looking to buy this PC in the next couple of days but wanted some sugestions from the community on any improvements. Here's the link to the wishlist

https://www.pccasegear.com/wish_lists?wlcId=496255&action=wish_lists

1. Budget & Location

My budget is around $3,100 AUD. I live in Australia and would really prefer to buy all parts from www.pccasegear.com because it is within driving distance and i can go pick it up without paying for delivery. Also for ease of returns and such, so any suggestions for different parts would need to be on the website.

2. Aim

Gaming. Just Gaming. A variety of games ranging from Minecraft to CS:GO to Battlefield. I'm not looking to max out all settings at the moment, but i am looking to upgrade to 970 Sli in the future.

3. Monitors

I only plan to use 1 monitor for the foreseeable future. The one in my wishlist may seem like overkill but i really do want it because someone sold me on it when they showed me it He also told me that its the one thing you will be looking at for the entire time you are using the computer so get a good one, and i couldn't agree more.

4. Peripherals

I have a mouse and speakers/headphones, that's about it. I also have a windows enterprise key (does this affect gaming performance? I don't think it does but anyway...) so i don't need an OS.

You can get a lot for $3,100.

Do you need a monitor? If so: IPS, TN or VA? Refresh-rate (60Hz, 120Hz, 140Hz)? Resolution (1080p, 1440p, 4k)? Cost?

[Sam Z Man]

You think your going to effectively use a 1440p 144hz display with a 970?

 

Yea nope, except TF2.

 

Your monitor should defiantly not cost twice as much as your GPU.

Goes a little over budget, but is a capable 4k machine for most games at medium-high settings and around 45 FPS. Add in another 390x and I think you'll be able to max out almost everything.
