Hey guys/gals,
I am currently in the process of building and pricing my first gaming computer. I have done a lot of research on parts that would fit my needs; mainly gaming, streaming video, surfing, and other daily tasks.
Even with all my research I would still like to get some more experienced builders advice. My GPU is the main question I have, the other parts I feel fit my needs...but still feel free to critique. My goal is to run games (BF4, AC4, League, Smite, etc.) at ultra to very high settings on a 2560 x 1440 central monitor, with two supporting monitors for surfing the web and such. Below is my build, let me know pros and cons from personal experience and any alternatives that might be helpful. Thanks for your input.
