Help Me Reduce The Price?

[Zoooom]

I am hoping to reduce the price of my build but not affect performance too much. It is for gaming and video production.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sZBGhq

I am only talking in regards of the PC parts/monitor.

Other parts such as mic, speakers ect are not anything I want to be changing.

[TheNuzziNuzz]

Maybe get three FHD/QHD displays for the price of that one. I personally would benefit from that more than a $900 display!

Sure thing!

 

Well of course, don't pay $900 for a monitor when the Asus MG279Q is $550.

DONT BUY RAZER CRAP. 

I would just get a Hyper212 evo

id definitely suggest an ASUS PG278Q over the BenQ you chose. I changed some parts, but it kind of messed up your color scheme. Also, don't buy a Windows license, follow guides online to create a bootable Windows 10 USB for free and then use a Windows 10 key from Kinguin to activate it. It's only $27 USD on sites like Kinguin and G2A.

As a Hyper 212 Evo user, I wholeheartedly disagree.

I would agree with the 1080 but the 1070 fits my colour scheme too well... MSI 1080 would be far too expensive, right?

The MSI GTX 1080 would bring the price to $2815.22:

Yes, unless you like your FPS going through the roof by pairing a GTX 1080 with that resolution.

So do I stay with the $900 monitor, I can get a deal for $750 and free shipping baha?

[tarfeef101]

Feel like this hasn't been brought up enough: your monitor choice is not ideal. If you're willing to spend that much on a monitor, you should get something that complements your setup better. You have an Nvidia GPU. Get a G-Sync panel. Additionally, since you apparently have such a high budget, may as well get IPS as well.

 

The ROG Swift PG279Q and Acer Predator XB271HU (think I got those right, not easy remembering those off memory) are amazing monitors, IMO the best you can get in the 27" range.

Well, a 600 monitor wont have as many ways to customise the display, or 1440p.... I can't decide anymore.
