So I finally did it! I Finished building my PC, but I need some help with networking and a monitor.

I like this monitor as it will match my case.

what do you guys think? And thanks!!

Everything is pretty good, apart from one thing; the PSU.
That unit is absolutely terrible, fails all the time and i've seen 4 start smoking and one catch fire over the years.
Return it if possible and get a Seasonic S/M12II or Corsair CXM (Black label version).
I also didn't actually know EVGA made RAM!

Also if there is nothing wrong with that white monitor I showed you can I get it I like the way it should match my case?

Chugalug_ · May 21, 2017

Hoooo okay thank god.
The white monitor you picked isn't that good compared to the Dell, which has much better picture quality.
You can still get the white one if you want, it just won't look quite as good.

No I wouldn't go with that one you need to get something with free sync.

Good:

Also look for these on jet.com and you can use the discount code for your first three orders and save 15% up to $30

Chugalug_ · May 21, 2017

You're paying $50 more for a monitor with worse color reproduction, a TN panel and a slightly higher refresh rate.
At that stage you're nearly buying a decent 144hz monitor like the AOC GN2460.

I know thank god I got a good one sorry i put the wrong one. I almost gave the both of us heart attacks. With the monitor I don't want to sacrifice capability,because one looks cool it's just an added bonus.

Chugalug_ :

I'm confused are you talking to me, or Kunra? my budget on monitor is about $150.

Also look for these on jet.com and you can use the discount code for your first three orders and save 15% up to $30

Thanks for this info I will definitely try it.

@Computer Builds, I believe @Chugalug_ is talking to you.

Also, I highly advise not getting the monitor you linked at the beginning of this post. @Chugalug_ basically already said what I'd say here.

OK I won't get that monitor then, so how about these:

Talking about Kunra.

Kunra Zether · May 22, 2017

Any one knows you can't go by listed specs on a monitor or any display for that matter from the manufacturer because alot of them have different ways for measurements and also fluff their numbers I always go by user reviews. I was suggesting a free sync monitor to go with his GPU to take advantage of it fully. It's one of the main benefits for getting an AMD GPU.

Chugalug_ · May 22, 2017

For $75 more and close to 144hz Freesync pricing is it really worth it?

Kunra Zether · May 22, 2017

Chugalug_ :

To prevent screen tearing to me it is but to each their own. We all have preferences I was just giving some options.

Chugalug_ · May 22, 2017

That's a 60% price increase for a feature that acts as a minimizer for poor FPS more or less, same with G-Sync.
It's in a price range where that difference could mean 50% more GPU power if building new, negating the need for Freesync in the first place.
That's why i'm saying it's not a good buy, especially at the point where it's nearly a 144hz monitor.
(The AOC GN2460s have freesync anyway)

I'm not sure what you guys are talking about I think price vs performance sort of stuff. Regardless how about these:

OK ,so how about these:

$114.99 https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Bk648d/dell-monitor-se...

$147 with coupon https://jet.com/product/Samsung-S24E370DL-236-Screen-LE...

$169.99 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01JGYM5H6/ref=ox_sc_...

$189.99 http://www.microcenter.com/product/470186/KG240_24_Full...

$203.65 https://www.amazon.com/AOC-G2460PF-24-Inch-Professional...

Also should I expect to make use of 144hz or is my pc not powerful enough?
