Ok, last time I was here I asked for pc build recommendations and received quite a few, thank you for that by the way. Now,after choosing one of the aforementioned builds, I'm back just to get any last minute edits/tips before I go on to build.

Part List: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/jHsGmG

 

Just for reference, I plan on making this computer to play some more demanding games (basically I'm moving over completely to pc gaming so I want this build to be able to last me a while with any future games, including VR). Also this computer would need to handle some software I work with (mainly Autodesk, Unity, etc.), though this isn't a main concern since if the computer can handle gaming then it should handle the work with ease.

 

Budget ~$1,200

 

As a bonus, a decent monitor recommendation would be nice. Other peripherals are accounted for.

 

Thanks for any help, greatly appreciated!

I would change to USB win10: http://pcpartpicker.com/product/wskwrH/microsoft-os-kw900016

It just makes things so much easier, unless you are fine with doing it manually (other pc required).

I speak my mind, sorry if thats a problem.

I would recommend getting the windows license from kinguin or the reddit microsoftsoftwareswap save yourself ~$60, feels like a real shame that the new graphics cards are impossible to find right now or I'd say get a 1060

Ok ,besides for the graphics card which I will have to research later, do any of you recommend the Corsair Vengeance 8GB *2  as opposed to Ripjaws V Series 8GB * 2?

 

You might be better with the Vengeance as it is lower in profile than the Ripjaws. I don't know what the ram clearance is like with the Cryorig so maybe check up on that before you buy anything.
