Gaming Build

[Helix_Exton]

I am planing on building a pc for Overwatch, BF1, Rust, Crossout, PUBG, ect.. I would like the Asus - ROG SWIFT PG248Q 24.0" 1920x1080 180hz Monitor (cheapest g-sync monitor) and need a motherboard/wireless card with bluetooth for ,y Quite comfort 25 headphones. My budget is around $1400 USD and I do not need either headphones, mouse, or keyboard. Please create a parts list via pcpartpicker.com.

Thanks for the help,

Helix

This is a quality build, with the aim to provide a good basis for future upgrades. NEVER skimp on a solid base in favor of shortterm gain. The only components you will need down the line to upgrade are a SSD (for your OS) and a better gpu. When you have some cash in the future, tackle those. For now, stick to building a good foundation.

Thanks. What does a $270 motherboard get me?

You don't need G-Sync, it's expensive for what it is

you do have a point there. also r7 vs i7?

R7 is more future proof. With 6core cpus now becoming more and more mainstream, getting a r7 with a whopping 8 cores for a great price provides a great base to build upon. gamingperformance is also great.

But for 144hz high refresh rate gaming, an i7 7700k wins. Your build btw makes no sense, good luck pushing 180hz on a 1050ti

An wifi card costs 30 dollars

All B350/X370 chipset can be overclocked

1050 Ti does not support SLI

Just get a 1070 or vega. Whatever your budget allows. They are the absolute sweetspot for 1080p gaming.

the 1050ti is just for starting because i don't want to spend $1700 right now. also you do have a point for the wifi card.

I never intended for this build to push that in the first place. read what I wrote. It is a baselinebuild to provide a solid upgradepath. I don't like peoples propensity on this forum to go for "as cheap as possible" to squeeze in a better gpu or what not, while compromising on things like clean machined cases, efficient psus etc.

 

Most people are on a budget all the time, and cant build an entirely new system ever2 or 3 years. spending money on something solid once, andonly having to make incremental upgrades with little to no effort is the better way to go in my opinion. to each their own I guess Op has to decide for himself.

For games, the difference between R5 1600 and R7 1700 isnt that great. With a GTX 1070, pushing 180fps shouldnt be a problem other than singleplayer AAA games.

I agree completely.

CX 2017 os based on a very good platform and there is nothing wrong with it at all

 

I have an SSD, for a 1400 dollar build it should be at least included

http://www.anandtech.com/show/11085/the-adata-ultimate-su800-ssd-review-128gb-256gb-512gb

The main purpose of the build is gaming, so a CPU power is needed less than GPU power (You have a top of the line R7 while only a 1050 Ti with high refresh game)

 

You also spent almost 300 on a motherboard that doesn't do shit. 

 

I am not going as cheap as possible with cheapest cooler, mediocre SSD or PSU that's gonna blow. I do both cheap but good parts not like spending on stuff that can't be justified

[Helix_Exton]

Also I need windows 10

[Helix_Exton]

within the budget.

In high settings, mkst should run 180fps or more. I'm not sure on PUBG though, heard that it is more demanding than other online multiplayer games.

nKinguin amd Reddit seems to have cheap OEM codes, but I havent tried it myself so cant aay whether it's good or not.
