Hello,

I am looking to build a PC for 1440p gaming on a 144hz g-sync monitor. I don't expect 144 fps/144 hz on every game, just on a few like Overwatch, Heroes of the Storm, and DOTA 2; for the most part, I have no problem playing the latest triple AAA titles like Hitman or TW:Warhammer at anything that's at or above 60 fps.

At my budget of around $1000-1200, I think that a 1070 build with an upgrade path to SLI 1070's offers the best value but I have no idea which parts to choose as this is my first time. PCpartpicker's list is interesting, but doesn't really do much for me because the mobo and PSU are insufficient for SLI.

I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could point me in the right direction,

Thanks.

this PC should be good, there is a SLI compatible MOBO and enough wattage for dual 1070 also you have a unlocked processor that will not bottleneck a 1070 and you can do some overclocking if you want. the end result should be a PC that not only preforms great but looks good too.

Nice, thanks. I hate to trouble you further, but would you happen to have an mATX version of this build? I think that's the form I want to build it in, but i don't know what the best case and mobo are.
