[nathinu1]

Just realized that I am going to need a way to connect wirelessly. Connecting directly is not possible.

Additionally looking for a monitor sub 250$. Can use Microcenter, Newegg, Amazon, Best Buy. (or other reliable sources).

Thanks for any/all help and suggestions.

change the CPU cooler to a noctua u12p -SE2. built way better and will cool way better and will be way quieter. 39.99 at us.ncix.com

this ram instead. 16gb is useless if you are not video editing.

get a 1tb if you are not going to store a ton of movies. 2tb would be overkill for most

get this 7950 instead. its cheaper

get this case instead. higher quality

get this power supply instead. more efficient and a newer design

now to the monitor

id suggest this

if you are looking for something cheaper

one is TN (lower quality less accurate but faster) and one is IPS (wider viewing angles, better image quality but a tad slower) both are great options

What size are you looking for? That's pretty essential, I love my Acer monitor, it is 24in, 2ms response time and 60hz, all on discount for about 130-140. And by connectivity do you mean connecting to the network?

 

[nathinu1]

I appreciate suggestions on the build - but already purchased.

Looking on completing the build.

(Getting monitor/wireless card or w/e)

As far as monitor size. 24" is fine. (ideally 22-24")

Its going to be used for gaming/movies/some video editing/surfing the web.

VX2453MH-LED 24" Widescreen LED Monitor Thoughts on this ?

[TheBigTroll]

no you are better off with the ones i provided. its still a TN. with 20 bucks more i can get a far superior IPS

 

[nathinu1]

What would you suggest a 270?

My main concern to your suggested one is that its 6ms - granted that may not be overall that significant. But thought 5 and below (2) being preferred.

 

[TheBigTroll]

the response time is a fake. nothing has a 5ms or lower reponse time other than a plasma.

as i said, get the asus pb238q

 

[nathinu1]

I will not dispute the fact of 5ms being a lie (since I simply don't know). But It has to actually mean something calculable. If for no other reason then someone would simply claim they were 5ms or 2ms and no one would be over that. Since it was "fake."

Regardless of that - I did look at the asus pb238q and it seems nice. However you said if you could go 20 over my budget you had a nicer suggestion. Unless you meant the asus pb238q being 20 over the Viewsonic I mentioned?


And any suggestions for a internet card ?

 

[nathinu1]

Also wondering if this is better then your suggested one - or not.

its not 20 dollars over. its 229.99 before MIR

and it is better than the acer in terms of image quality by miles. just that the acer is 120hz and faster
