Posted April 8, 2016 I about 80% complete with my first build but i cant decide on the Case or Ram. I also need a little advice on what CPU cooler to get. My theme/setup is going to be base highly on the Joker(batman) and Spider-man but might just make it a whole joker thing. My setup is more of a minimalist style. **EDIT**- I added polls so you can vote and i can get a better look on what to get. Other suggestions or things that i should know comment below please!! **The Strix God** PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel Core i5-6600K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor (Purchased For $267.03) CPU Cooler: Corsair H115i 104.7 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler ($99.99 @ Newegg) Motherboard: Asus ROG MAXIMUS VIII HERO ALPHA ATX LGA1151 Motherboard (Purchased For $292.38) Memory: Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory ($89.99 @ Newegg) Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($87.77 @ OutletPC) Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($47.97 @ Directron) Video Card: Asus GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB STRIX Video Card (Purchased For $679.99) Case: NZXT Noctis 450 ATX Mid Tower Case ($125.99 @ NZXT) Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA P2 850W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply (Purchased For $126.86) Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer ($18.89 @ OutletPC) Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Home OEM (64-bit) ($86.49 @ OutletPC) Monitor: Asus PB278Q 60Hz 27.0" Monitor (Purchased For $240.00) Monitor: Asus PB278Q 60Hz 27.0" Monitor (Purchased For $240.00) Monitor: Asus PB278Q 60Hz 27.0" Monitor (Purchased For $300.00) Keyboard: Corsair K95 RGB Wired Gaming Keyboard ($156.43 @ Amazon) Mouse: Corsair M65 RGB Wired Laser Mouse ($53.99 @ Amazon) Other: NZXT Hue+ (Purchased For $59.99)Total: $2973.76Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when availableGenerated by PCPartPicker 2016-04-08 13:43 EDT-0400 **So i need the help of the PCMasterRace Community to help me pick out from one of the options i am thinking of or any other recommendations!!** **Plan of Use** Gaming, Workspace, Overclocking (eventually) and some streaming **What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?** I am looking at no more than $100-ish for the ram maybe just maybe a push to $150 and for the Case i'm looking at $200<(flexible).

Posted April 8, 2016 I'm curious why one monitor costs more than the other 2 even though it's the same model. Is there only 2 left from one place and the 3rd had to be ordered from another place? You know how it is, the cow goes "moo", the dog goes "woof" and the gamer goes "The PvP is unbalanced."

What happen was that i bought the $300 one from a friend with 24' monitor and later bought two more from another seller. i just added the $300 even though it technically cost me $200 but i'm keeping track on how much i have spent.

At first i was hell yea super PC! but i came to realize there's no way in hell i will be able too, i seen someone on the ASUS channel that ran all three of these monitors with gtx 690 i believe but that was sli. As for me its more for productivity, i do plan to play on all three but after i buy another Strix later in the future or upgrade. As for now i am happy playing on just the middle monitor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
