First ever build, good for 1440p?

gamingwoop · May 3, 2015

Finally decided on a build after months of researching - the fatal question; is it any good? Secondly, how well will it handle 1440p?

Any suggested improvements or tweaks are very welcome, but bear in mind my budget is strictly £660.

UPDATE:
I'm planning to buy an SSD a couple months later so that's covered.
Estimated wattage is 483W, so the PSU should accomodate that?
Is a CPU cooler/extra fans necessary?

You may need more video cards for 1440p in some games, especially ones that are coming out later this, and next year
