Gaming Pc Build

Also if you want to be video editing it woud help to get 16gb of ram instead of 8gb.

yes it will . . this PC is good for ultra gaming experience

If it's just light video editing, 8GB is fine. More is only needed if it's really high resolution, or really large individual files.

And yes, the EVO will fit just fine in there If you want to add a side fan in the future, the top mount would need a slim fan though.

yes, those specs should run those games on ultra 50fps+. but what psu are you getting?

If you're referring to internet, it honestly won't really matter unless you have bad signal where your system will be at. If you can do wired, that's always recommended, but wireless is still just fine.

get the 750 watt 80+ bronze non-modular psu for $70 ish, ot pay more for a modular psu if you want. and wireless and wired are just fine, but wired dont take batteries.

oh, i thought you were reffering to keyboard/mouse, or were you?

You need nothing more than a 650w power supply at the most, unless you think you want a second graphics card in the future.

Always go with a wired internet connection if you can get it; and I would argue that you should still go wired with keyboard and mouse, even though wireless peripherals have improved a lot recently.

Also, just throwing out there two things:

1) I would get a less expensive motherboard. I have a Maximus V Gene, and while it's a great motherboard, it doesn't really give a huge benefit over a $130-150 motherboard.

2) With such a powerful computer, I would strongly recommend getting the peripherals to match. If you can afford them, consider a nice gaming mouse ($60-70, the price of a AAA game), a mechanical keyboard (feels like typing on a cloud of boobs), and a 120Hz monitor (which makes you feel like you're playing with cheats in first person shooters).

XD typing on a cloud of boobs. and a 650 watt psu will be ok, but the 750 watt version from XFX is cheaper than the 650 watt. and yeah, make sure you get a great monitor

idk what to look for in a gaming keyboard/mouse, as im broke and cant afford one lol but goodluck

I love the razor deathadder as my mouse, but you should avoid their keyboards. If you're looking for a budget mechanical keyboard, look at the cm storm quickfire series.

you could do 2 monitors just fine, and wouldnt loose too many fps. and what you want in a monitor would be higher refresh rate, which is measured in hertz, high resolution, high color contrast, fast response time, ips, hdmi, large size, high brightness, etc.

^ Unless you play at night at all, or like to use your monitors with low brightness because of eye strain. In that case a TN panel is far better (and trashes IPS on refresh rate and input lag anyways), and high brightness is indicative of having poor options at lower brightnesses. Dual link DVI is also far more important than HDMI anyways, unless you want to use the speakers built into the monitor for some hideous reason.

How does a 60Hz 5ms response TN panel trash my 60Hz 5ms response IPS monitor that looks far better color wise and angle wise? You can get faster response and/or higher refresh, but you'll be paying a lot more.

1) An IPS panel that manages to get down to a 5ms Gray - to - Gray is going to be rather expensive... and a cheap TN panel that states a 5ms response time is likely to be talking about black to white, not G2G, which would be down around two or three milliseconds.

2) A IPS monitor has better color for the environment it was designed to work well in - a brightly lit professional office. Go take your IPS monitor and turn the brightness down to minimum. I'm willing to bet that you notice two things. First, some rather loud coil whine; that's almost universal from what I've seen. Second, the colors are suddenly not nearly as impressive or crisp and pretty as when the brightness is set for a light room.

A TN panel and an IPS panel set to minimum brightness and either going to be comparable in color, or the TN panel (if it's a very well made one that compares to the cost of the IPS panel) will come out slightly ahead.

You may say that this is a pointless competition... I don't know about you, but I play in the dark a lot, and even during the day, I don't want my room brightly lit while I'm gaming. I tend to play in low light or in the dark, and so I couldn't care less about how bright the panel is - that would just hurt my eyes.

3) I understand the argument for viewing angles if you were using three panels in surround, tilted vertically. Other than that, or having a friend watch you play games from the chair next to you (and further away than just next to you - perhaps you swing your elbows a lot when gaming), there's really not that big of an advantage. It's there, I'll give you that, I just don't see a huge use for it.

4) As for the higher response and or faster refresh, a top-tier TN panel is going to cost about $200 less than the bottom range of flagship IPS panels. (If we're going on their main qualities - i.e. a 120Hz TN vs a 1440p IPS. You could buy a good IPS, 1080p monitor for about the same as a 1080p, 120Hz monitor, but that's a different story.)


All I was trying to say is that cheap IPS monitors are horrible options for gaming, and ones that compare (gaming specs wise, not color wise) to a cheap TN panel are far more expensive...

Which means that you shouldn't just look for IPS as another thing when you're buying your monitor, or you'd make poorly informed decisions.
