First time PC builder, I wanted to follow a red/black scheme with a windowed case but if it would be significantly cheaper to get the same performance (or possibly get a much higher performance and basic looks for the price) I'm open to any suggestions.
this is what I have my build at right now
I was considering getting a radeon r9 270x instead of the GTX 660, would it even be worth the money? unless of course I can get the 270x when it's on sale or something
Would prefer the price to not go any higher (at $810 at time of posting)
another note is I plan on eventually running a dual-monitor setup, with the secondary monitor mostly being used for music/internet browsing while I play games. Will my setup be able to do this? And will the music being played on the 2nd monitor go through my headphones or will I have to use the graphics card's HDMI for the 2nd monitor to get sound?
