No he is not gaming on all 3, but he wants to max out several games including GTA V. Even with a 1070 he won't full max that out for 60 Hz.

The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.

An EVGA GTX 1060 did you mean?

Will it still be able to handle 3x monitors?

Doubt it.

-I'm stuck between a 1070 or 1060 or 480, opinions? I'm trying for 1080p Ultra 50-70 FPS on Triple A Games like GTA V/BF4/BF1 etc.. at least, was gonna go 1440p setup/monitors but out of budget I think. (I don't mean triple monitor gaming..)

As long as he is gaming on 1 screen he can run 3 screens fine. It is with gaming where it is far from sufficent.

Aah I see.

But still, should be nice and quiet right? And hey, it's black which will match nicely :)

 

Any idea on a part list / any tweaks to the current one? Besides the cooler of course?

The Thermaltake Frio Silent 14 is a cheaper alternative to the Dark Rock if you don't mind a Black/White cooler.

 

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00MUEXBE6/?tag=pcp0f-21

 

Corsair RMx is a very quiet psu. It has a longer warranty than the G2 650W. A 550W is enough for this system.

 

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CP-9020090-UK-RM550X-Modular-Supply/dp/B015PWMRI0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1485277287&sr=8-1&keywords=corsair+rm550x

 

I would take the Sapphire RX480 over the Gigabyte

 

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sapphire-Polaris-FreeSync-PCI-Express-Graphics/dp/B01IQS6QE6/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1485277397&sr=8-5&keywords=sapphire+rx+480

 

Maybe swap the HDD's for the Seagate Barracudas.

 

https://www.amazon.co.uk/SEAGATE-Desktop-BarraCuda-3-5-Inch-Internal/dp/B01ICLGJF8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1485277499&sr=8-1&keywords=seagate+barracuda+2tb#customerReviews

 

 

You also might not need all the extra fans. I would run it with the stock fans first to see what the system sounds like.

Ok, slight change of plan, I might put my budget a tiny bit higher and reach for a 1070 and I'll get the other components shortly after when I can afford them.

How's this?:

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/ZcpFHN

 

Cooler was a bit overkill now I'm thinking about it so I bumped it DOWN to a H7.

Changed the SSD.

The HDDs are the same and I know I know, I have read replies about them (Thanks btw :)) but these ones should(?) be alright/reliable :D.

Changed the case because of noise issues I think it was in about the other one.

Changed the GPU to a 1070 with 3xDP.

Monitors I've changed to some IPS ones with DP.

Case Fans I've changed to 120mm, apparently the case doesn't support 140mm :( RIP.

Hey I'm Xiauj ^_^ Wassup :3

Why don't you buy two monitors instead, the first one can be 1440p and the 2nd 1080p. since you aren't triple monitor gaming, it doesn't make sense.

Looks good, only thing I'd change is get windows 10 from somewhere like kinguin instead (should be less than half the price and it works).

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

Personal preference I suppose, idk really. Would prefer for every one of 'em to be 100% identical to one another.

It's like I said to someone else earlier, HDMI + DP to me personally would look different, I think (?) when comparing on the same monitor, side by side.

 

Other besides that, also chose those AOC ones because they are IPS and extra colors for any type of editing is to be fair, a bonus because you need it really don't you? :P

They have better value (less money for more storage and are good though 850 is better)
