Good ips monitor less than 5ms for this build

GoDz · Sep 2, 2014

the build: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/mido_505/saved/w37G3C

i'd picked almost everything except the monitor, I'll be gaming most of the time, idk if I should get 1080p or 1440p for this build?

is there any improvement should i do on the other parts?
any help is appreciated

thx in advance

Do you have a budget? And I would really like to tweak the build too if you don't mind.

EDIT: Will you only game only?

legend001523 · Sep 2, 2014

Get 8gb of ram, and I'd say go for 1080p for ultra gam,ing for a long time, 780ti's and r9 290x's are the only ones that are quite smooth on 1440p I think, the 780 is good at 1440p also, but you can game at higher fps on 1080p for longer oh and get a caviar blue instead

For IPS, 5ms is as good as it currently gets - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236331

Edit -

You've got an expensive mobo get an Asus Z97-A instead.

And ram. Just get 2 x 4gb 1866 cl 9 1.5v

This build is $200 cheaper excluding the monitor compared to your original build. I chose a 1440p monitor.

Did you see the previous post. It includes the monitor and is below your budget. And runs at 1440p.

thx for the answer, it's almost the same build as mine, I just wonder is 8 gb enough for gaming on ultra like crysis 3/ bf4/ watch dogs etc

legend001523 · Sep 2, 2014

yes 8gb is enough, but if you can afford it, I don;'t see why 16gb is bad

I know it is similar like I said but it is cheaper in the end when the monitor is excluded.

And yes current games don't even utilise the full 8GB. So you will have more than enough.

well I'll put that in consideration, what about the gpu, is there a difference between EVGA and Asus?

legend001523 · Sep 2, 2014

nah, apart from different models and needs

lightcloud · Sep 2, 2014

And yes one more thing. Did you notice I had a 780Ti in the build? So it is pretty tough to compare it.

I see, btw that monitor I had it in my previous list, it's a beast but I thought I should go for a bit cheaper one but looks like I'm gonna go for it xD

lightcloud · Sep 2, 2014

Yup and my build come with a 780Ti too.
