We have no idea what he's even using the system for, so bit premature, don't you think?

 

OP - What exactly are you using the system for?

Do you need peripherals within budget? If yes, what peripherals do you need? If no, what monitor(s) are you using with this system?

Will you overclock?

Any preferred aesthetic(colour scheme, side panel window, LEDs, etc)?

Anything else?

What monitor is he using then? What games is he playing? What else is he using the system for? "gaming PC" is not enough to go on, considering that could mean he's trying to play CSGO and Overwatch at 1080p or something. In which case,a GTX 1080Ti would be ridiculously overkill and pointless.

if he's building a 2.5K PC he can easily get a new monitor so that isn't relevant, did you read my post?

That's great that you can talk for OP :) What's he having for dinner tonight?

right, but you're aware he could have a monitor already? He might want to re-use it. We still don't actually know what games he's playing. So, yeah, you still jumped the gun buddy.

You're not getting the point 'buddy'.

 

Unless his current monitor is 4K 60 or 1440p 144Hz, for this caliber build he SHOULD be upgrading REGARDLESS of games played or whatever he has now. Just because he has a 1080p monitor now doesn't mean he should keep it for such an expensive PC to save $100...
