I've decided to build my first high performance rig and would like to hear any critiques and/or opinions on the components I have chosen.
My main goal is to have a system that can run 1440p pushing high refresh rates (144hz).
ANY input is very much appreciated. Price is not an issue (thx oilfield).
Thanks in advance, guys!
