Hi,

Was planning on doing a full rebuild of my system except for the case (Coolermaster Stacker), PSU (1000w), Soundcard (Creative Fatality X-Fi PCI Express Sound Blaster Titanium), Optical Drive, and HD (1TB Seagate Barracuda). I'd like to be able to get a ASUS ROG SWIFT PG278Q and Gsync everything. I'm kind of lost from there on what to get as far as the rest of the components go. I'd like to be able to run everything at 1440p at the highest possible graphics settings but I'm willing to drop down from 144hz to 120 if needed. As far as budget goes I have about $2400 including the monitor in that price. Is it possible?

Also, can anyone confirm that I can convert the display port to HDMI in case I wanted to hook up my xbox 1?

Thanks!

yes its possible. I had to stick to 8gb ram and I couldnt fit 780 ti's there but this should do nicely.
