This is a pretty solid build. If it IS for gaming you may want a bigger SSD, but that is more for convenience's sake than anything else. I would also recommend multiple monitors. As for overclocking, what will you be doing that requires that? This PC should never dip below 60fps. There is no reason to overlcock unless you need it.

I'm mainly using it for gaming. I run a 21:9ultra wide right now. I would like two monitors but just don't have the space for it on my desk.

The monitor is a poor choice, a flatscreen 144Hz monitor will do you better.
PSU, cooler, RAM and SSD also aren't good.
Budget?

There is absolutely nothing wrong with his PSU cooler or RAM, and even the SSD putting aside the size. What makes you think that?

Currently trying to sell this monitor but my budget is around 1200. I do like the 21:9 though.

How are those items not good?

AAAH nevermind, it's their new power supply with japanese caps, my bad. ;.;
Rest of it IS kind of bad though.
While the Corsair LE isn't a bad performer, better performance can be had for the same cost.
The cooler will perform the same as a $30 cooler for twice the price, not a good choice.
Trust me here, just give me a budget and i'll put together something better.

I paid 50 for the ddr and around 45 for the cooler that's why I went with it.

They are not the best parts ever known to man, but they should have no issue getting the job done. The cooler COULD be a bit lacking if overclocking too hard, but you should never reach that point.

Oh you've already bought them. :/
Okay then.

mminton21 · Nov 25, 2016

What would you recommend for the components that you say aren't so good?
