-CPU: i5 4460 3.2GHz

-GPU: GTX 970 4Gb

-RAM: 8Gb DDR3

-STORAGE: 256 SSD and 1TB HDD

-MOTHERBOARD: MSI Z97

-POWER SUPPLY:700W

Thanks!

It does but i dont think SLI is worth it to play at 1080p

Yeah you don´t need it for 1080p so could get an additional monitor i think

I'll look into that, also is watercooling worth it?

For a cooler i would get an be quiet dark rock 3 or something like an corsair h60 watercooler

[Lilithty]

corsair h55 or h60: 49.99

new monitor (1080p, 60hz, 24"): 130ish

new GTX 970: 299

i5 4690k: 225$

144hz monitor: 225ish

 

 

I would say go with another monitor or a 144hz monitor

if you can afford it maybe upgrade to 4690k and a 144hz monitor. 

a GTX 970 by itself is a beast for 1080

2k 60Hz or 1080p 144Hz?

[Lilithty]

1080p 144hz. Personally im not making the jump to 4k until i can achieve 60fps (smooth) or better without the badassest card(s) in the world. I'm probably going to wait 2-3 more years to go to 4k. although you never know how the next gen will do.

4k is ucomfortable for me, as i would have to throw one or two 970.

yep. 1080 144hz should be great
