New system Compatibility check

unerring_fool · Feb 15, 2017

Hey folks! I'm doing my first PC build, I've always had semi-potatoes to game on so I decided to go a bit crazy. I'm just wondering if I'm all compatible. Pretty worried of dropping the cash and something not working. Thanks for the time.

Go with 2560x1440p instead of 3440x1440p that will perform better and give you better build.

King Dranzer :

I was wondering that also, do you have any monitor suggestions?

I'd suggest using that money spent on the m.2 ssd and get a 1tb sataIII ssd. Games are starting to take up an excess of 100gb, so who knows what drive capacity will be needed in the future. I have two builds in my apartment and I play games like gtaV and doom, and i'm running into space issues. If all you are going to be doing is gaming, you won't need anything more than a sata III ssd. Unless you constantly move large files on a regular basis you won't notice much of a difference in speed between m.2 and sataIII. If all you use this for is a gaming rig, your ssd will most be reading with an occasional write for when you install games.

As quoted from your manual:
The Ultra M.2 Socket (M2_1 and M2_2) supports SATA3 6.0 Gb/s module and M.2 PCI Express module up to Gen3 x4 (32 Gb/s).
So it looks like that ssd will work with your motherboard.

yeah just making sure I was on the same page with you. Still new to this. Thanks!
