New Gaming Build, a few qestions
Last response: in Systems
This is my new build if anybody could give me any critiques. I will not be overclocking.
Points of concern: Monitor, I would prefer to not have to spend as much, but cant find a good gaming monitor at 24" that hasn't got so many negative reviews. I will be mostly gaming. Lots of FPS and RTS.
Anywhere where I can cut down costs without sacrificing power - and limiting future upgradability?

If was not going to personally overclock, would the msi still be better than the EVGA GeForce GTX 670 FTWyes because the boost clock (auto overclock) will be higher than the evga since it has more thermal headroom. the cooler the card runs,the higher it will boost.
i dont see why you wouldnt want to overclock though
Don't know how and don't want to break anything.
What about the

dont know how is not a excuse. there are way too many guides out there that can help
you cant really break anything. its mostly idiotproof nowadays
and the ftw sucks compared to other solutions. i dont see any reason for its hype.
and the fact that it performs better and is CHEAPER means that there is no reason not to get one
