It's nice size for 2560x1440. Text and windows UI is a pretty good size and doesn't require much if any adjustment. It's considered by many to be the "Sweet Spot" for 1440p kind of like how 24" was considered to be the sweet spot in size for 1920x1080

Thank you for telling me that because I'm afraid of not being use to the resolution because I'm using a 17.3/4" with 1920x1080 and that feels good

27" may be too big for you in 2560x1440 if 17.75" feels just right for you in 1920x1080. Its mostly personal preference. If there's a computer store near you, maybe its worth checking to see if they have any 2560x1440 displays that you can demo to see if its right for you.

Thanks for informing me that =)

 

I got recommended these builds and I'm lost because everyone has different components some agree what I have some don't:

 

Mine(also recommended but somewhat liking it) also what is a good mechanical keyboard peoplesay razor is expensive but Idk #send help and i also like the case but expensive any similar alternatives:

Recommended: 

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/QTCC6s

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/kHNsLJ

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/tgXMbX(Same as mine but different case)(this is the original however i don'tlike the case and my case is expensive)

 

oh I forgot to add but any recommendations to case fans or not extremely needed?

[ImNotThere]

Obviously your build is good, I like the spec omega , I personally prefer strix boards from Asus but your board should be good

 

750w psu is completely overkill, 650w max is what you'd be good with, hell a 550w would probably do it.

 

The 8700k is the best gaming CPU atm, same deal with 1080ti, Nvidia might be launching a new generation soon, no one knows but that might be worth considering? Although if you're playing at 1080p the 1080ti is completely overkill, step down to a 1070ti or a 1080 and invest in a 1440p monitor, it should balance out okay and you'll have a good experience, or just keep the 1080ti and get a 1440p monitor 

 

If you have the budget get a k95 platinum RGB with Mx browns, best keyboard I've ever used

 

G502 is a great mouse, I use an m65 pro RGB.

i made the 3rd build, basically same thing with a different case. picked the 750w PSU just in case he chooses to go SLI. yes, i know not many games support SLI and he's better off with upgrading it.

 

he's got a 1440p 165hz monitor so the 1080ti is fine.

Isn't the monitor I have currently on the list a 1440p? and would you have like a link to the specs because when I take a look at parts it just gives me a headache =S

the 1440p was exactly what i was questioning 

Is SLI like just another graphics card which enables you to play with higher quality games and what case or could you recommend me a case =) one full  side panel if possible

SLI lets you use 2 of the same GPUs together for increased performance, but not all games support it nor will you get twice the performance. the panzer or the Define/Meshify C are good choices, if you need RGB then just get a 5m 5050 strip off ebay/amazon/aliexpress/whatever or a few cheapo fans and some phanteks halos to go with it.

Ops, my mistake, the 1080p model looks almost identical
