Is this a good pc build for ultra 1080p gaming? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/wdJkzy You can add items as long as it is in the 2k range

Entomber · Nov 7, 2014

if you wanted 16GB of RAM you're probably better off getting 2x8GB. There's currently some sales for 16GB that are around $140

Yes Entomb is 100% right go with 16GB kit the you can still add more RAM in the future if you need to with ease. The rest looks good, enjoy your new gaming machine! Question what monitor are you going to use?

exactkilla1234 :

1080p? This would be damn fine for 1440p.

That build would be fine for 4K gaming lol.

But I did a little tweaking:

-You want more power with your PSU especially if you do SLI and overclock, so I swapped for a EVGA G2 850W which is well regarded.
-Switched to dual channel 16GB RAM because its more convenient and its cheaper. No performance loss.
-Added a Nepton 240M CPU cooler because it'll have lower temps and is an excellent CPU cooler. Here's a LinusTechTips review of it: http://youtu.be/65-aR4o8iT4
-Switched to Enthoo Pro because its the best value full tower and you'll want the extra space with two GPUs and a radiator. Here's a review by Hardware Canucks: http://youtu.be/cBhmn21ylkc

I wouldn't recommend Razer headsets. I've heard that they produce cheap products and aren't worth the price.

If you're only gaming and would like to save some money and have the same performance in games
switch out the CPU and RAM for these:
CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor ($229.94 @ OutletPC)
Memory: Kingston Fury White Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($79.99 @ Amazon)
