Rig for 1080p gaming.

RockGTR · Dec 30, 2015

I wish to play at 1080 @60 or greater, i'd prefer to see a raid 0 ssd config (512GB is enough), mild overclocking (ambient temp 30C-40C) and future expansion should be possible.
Thanks in advance.
(No KBM and the budget is anywhere between 1000$-2000$)

You should list your budget and any 'specifics' on what you require.

KB/M ... Monitor ... OS ... ??? etc

Latest generation hardware. The i5 6500 is overclockable with the Asrock board. The 980Ti will give you ridiculous frame rates at 1080p and will support 2K/4K should you ever upgrade your monitor. The 950 Pro is over twice as fast as two regular SSD's in RAID 0 without the hassle. You could scale back on the case and video card (970/980) and save a few bucks (actually, quite a few).

I plan to stick to 1080p for a min of 4 years so wouldn't this be overkill?

You can scale it back to what ever you wish, this system is pretty flexible. A GTX 960 is going to give good 1080P 60 hz performance.
