I'm currently in the process of building a PC that can handle 1440p 60fps on ultra settings(2x aa or less as I've heard it's not necessary at that res) on current games and upcoming one like battlefront, fallout 4 etc, without breaking the bank much yet still being effective.
I've done quite a bit of research on all the following parts, so I am really just asking from the experts for input, tips, Opinions, or any changes that could be made that would benefit me or benefit my wallet without hurting performance.
I am also looking to do small overclocks on the CPU, and maybe push the GPU more if it can handle it.
