New $1200 Build Thoughts?

MasterRaceAlien · Dec 2, 2014

I am looking to build a new pc and wanted your guys input on the parts. I am trying to get something future proof and the most bang for my buck.
Thanks in advance

MasterRaceAlien :

Looks pretty good to me.

I'd consider getting a better quality PSU than the Corsair CX (especially if you're planning to add another GPU later for SLI). The EVGA SuperNova G2 750W is high quality option.

Yes I will most likely SLI in the future thank you for the help. Any suggestions on a monitor?

MasterRaceAlien :

Kind of depends on types of games you play. TN panel better for fast action/FPS games, IPS/PLS better for colour reproduction and viewing angles, but potentially not as fast on the refresh rate.

Are you looking for 60Hz, or 120Hz? 1080p or 1440p?

Hoping to get the best resolution I can run with good fps and not be affected by refresh rate. As well I will be playing a lot of first person shooters.

Something that's a little cheaper, but still great!
