New build help.

[steve-kon]

Hi all, here's my parts list. I've ordered them all, just the Graphic Card and Monitor didn't reach me yet. Anything else to add to my part list?

Power supply is a little overkill, and that monitor seems way too overpriced for 1440p 60hz.. but other than that its fine.

He's already ordered everything. and everything there is overpriced; the cooler, the RAM, the SSD, the GTX 1070, the case, and the power supply. The monitor is the worst offender of them all. However, there's little we can do about that now that he's ordered the parts.

$800 for a 60Hz 1440p monitor? Wut?

The power supply is a future proof let's say. I bought the monitor for around Rs. 37000($542). And i'm looking for a UPS, but not sure how to select one. A user said APS ones are better, so i'm checking them.

Any reason for a UPS? 

 

I guess $542 isn't bad as you're not from the States or Europe

Future proofing doesn't exist, but in this case it kinda does (but even then 550W would allow for 1070 SLI in the future).

It's barely $200 less than a Predator x34,

A keyboard, mouse, and Windows key? Make sure you get the most expensive Windows Key you can find.

It isn't even IPS, or rated for colour accuracy. Also, 12ms response time.

Yeah, we have frequent power cuts. And I needed a 1440p IPS panel, and they are hard to get without getting expensive.

It is an IPS panel.

It costs me more than $1600, more than a thousand dollars than my monitor.

Hmmmm...320watts for the 1070 alone underload, I'd not recommend 550Watts for dual 1070, 600Watts would be much nicer especially if any overclocking was to happen

Fair enough, since you're in...(India?), it would highly depend on what you have available in your country.

*Whistes*. I was thinking of getting one, and it cost $250.

Damn, that''s nearly half the price I bought but then again anything related to PC in India is pricey,

Rip, that happens...even in places such as the UK where we have prices that are like 20% higher than it would be in the states

Sometimes with pricey items I will buy it in the US and have it shipped here

You're in the UK? How do you like our 20% import charges on anything over $40 in value and the duties charges?

That explains a few things.

That's exactly what I did with my entire build besides the motherboard, case, and PSU. Screw Indian prices.
