So I've researched for almost 2 years now and I think I'm done with my build for good. It looks amazing and I havent seen anyone really talk bad about it once I got a few cheaper but just as good parts. This is the build. Its my black/white gaming pc that I'll be making soon. Tell me if you like what you see. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/FdPcPs.

Since you can't do anything with just a PC and no monitor etc. I of course had to pick those things too.. These are the other things in my build.

Monitor: (Havent decided yet, I'm still thinking about a monitor) https://www.amazon.com/VG248QE-1920x1080-144Hz-Gaming-Monitor/dp/B00B2HH7G0

Keyboard: (I'm getting the Cherry MX Brown) http://www.cmstore-usa.com/masterkeys-pro-l-white-cherry-mx-switch-blue-brown-red/

Mouse: http://gaming.logitech.com/en-us/product/g502-proteus-spectrum-rgb-gaming-mouse

Mousepad: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00J2EF4K6/ref=twister_B00OZ6M4KY?_encoding=UTF8&th=1

Headset: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00J2EF4K6/ref=twister_B00OZ6M4KY?_encoding=UTF8&th=1

Tell me if you like these accessories and tell me what I should change... I'm not use about the monitor... I heard some good and bad thigns about the one shown above. Tell me if I should get it or not. If you have another monitor around the price point of 300 and has 1080p 144hz then I'll look into it. Tell me if you like the build too. I would love to know anything you say about it. Also tell me if you like or dislike any of the other accessories too. Thats it and yea, thanks!

Well the Asus monitor isn't bad. The AOC is just similar but cheaper.

They are both a bit old-fashioned in that they lack variable refresh rate tech. But to get that with an Nvidia GPU is very expensive and beyond your budget.
The system looks good, only thing I would change is the HDD; the WD Black isn't really worth the premium. You could get 2TB for less money.

The keyboard should be good; I have another Cooler Master keyboard and it's served me well. The mouse has great reviews.

The Asus VG248QE used to be the best affordable high refresh rate monitor. Not sure it's such a great deal anymore though.

I've heard about changing the WD Black but honestly I like it a lot.. Also I won't need 2tb and I would be getting more storage I probably would never use for lesser rpm... I know your talking about the 2tb Seagate drive but nah. Also do you have any monitors you would recommend... It needs to be around 300 dollars, black or white (try not getting a monitor with a lot of other colors..) It needs to be 1080p 144hz and have nice reviews also from a nice brand. Please help me with it!

If the AOC monitor is just as good as the ASUS one then shouldnt it have similar problems as the ASUS one?
