I'm looking in making a new rig that can handle ultra on 1080. I mainly play fps and aaa titles.

I have $900 but I can save more if it makes a huge difference.

Notes:

I already have a Windows key

Don't do a red themed.

Add a 144Hz monitor with 1ms response time ( between 21.5 and 24 )

I already have a mouse and keyboard

If you add a 144hz monitor, you won't get a PC that can break 100FPS at 1080p.

 

I can't find a cheap 144hz monitor.

You'll be able to run games great. I left around $50 in the budget so you can save up and get a nice monitor later. The PC look nice, it's all black. You can change the case (P400) to a white one if you want contrast.

 

I didn't add a hard drive, so you won't have too much space unless you add one. If you wanna replace the SSD with a hard drive, that would be slower but okay.

Freesync 144hz monitor included here but at the cost of a smaller SSD and cheaper case.
