Hi !
I plan on buying the Alienware aw3418dw (for the ips and 120hz refresh) and I was wondering if this rig would be good enough to take full use of that monitor

This is what my futur rig would look like :
I5-8600k
ASUS maximus x hero
16gb of ddr4 G.skill rgb trident (don’t know which one to get though)
Aorus 1080ti extreme
Kraken x62 aio
Enthoo evolv x
Corsair rmx 650x (for oc and all)
Mx500 1tb (for games) and barracuda 4tb (for data storage)

I come from a 27’ 60hz tn panel and I plan on playing all futur and current AAA titles (ie : the Witcher 3, all tomb raider games, anthem, resident evil 2 remake etc ) for a butter smooth cinematic experience

I’m also open to all kind of suggestion regarding this build (ain’t a fanboy of any brand so il just take the one that’s worth my money)

Ps : hope my English was not too bad and that I gave enough information for what I’m asking

Kind regards, jeremy
 
Solution
Your i5 is going to be right at the limit with a WQHD @ 120Hz

Either be prepared to over clock or you may end up dropping from ultra to high on a few settings.
