Is This a Good Gaming PC Build?

ThatZiast · Feb 26, 2016

I'm a first time PC builder. I want to be able to play most games at 1440p with 60fps. Will this build do the job?

Here, this will save you money and give you about the same gaming performance. I chose the 850W GQ power supply because it has headroom for a second GPU even.

With the money saved you could get a better monitor like this one with much more adjustable stand and overall better build quality. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KYCSRSG/?tag=pcpapi-20
