Building a Gaming PC, need advice

Go to solution Solved by Lethal Seraph,

Everything seems to be in order except the monitor, are you into FPS? I don't see the need to get 144hz, if you can- you might wanna invest on more realstate, ie. an ultrawide monitor.

Hello,

 

I'm building my first Gaming PC, coming from a Lenovo Y510P laptop.

 

I want it for gaming and work in Unity, Android Studio, Photoshop and After Effects (not so much in this).

 

  • Seagate Desktop HDD 1TB 7200RPM 64MB SATA-III
  • Seasonic M12II-620 EVO Edition Bronze 620W
  • NZXT Sleeved LED Lighting Kit Red
  • Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SATA-III 2.5 inch
  • GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 980 Ti G1 GAMING 6GB DDR5 384-bit
  • Intel Skylake, Core i7 6700 3.40GHz box
  • HyperX Savage Black 16GB DDR4 2133MHz CL13 Dual Channel Kit
  • MSI H170A PC MATE
  • NZXT Source 340 Matte black-red
  • AOC g2460fq 24 inch 1ms GTG black

 

Any advices? Thank you!

Everything seems to be compatible.

Any advice about the build? It will be good with what I work?

Everything seems to be in order except the monitor, are you into FPS? I don't see the need to get 144hz, if you can- you might wanna invest on more realstate, ie. an ultrawide monitor.

In my country (Romania) this build (without the monitor) is around 1800 Euro (so, budget around 1800 Euro).

I don't play that much FPS, so it's not worth the 144hz? 60hz will be enough?

Yeah if you're into first person shooter, go for the highest refresh rate (i.e 144hz+) but for editing and more game immersion, go for a 21:9 resolution... even at 1080p 60Hz. I'd suggest getting a 29" or bigger, 1080p or better.
