My new system. What do you think about it?

[ToniB]

Finally i put together my new system (was on laptop for 7 years).
I hope, i will play on high (max) setting on 1440p. For future i plan to SLI.

So here is my system:

**CPU** Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor
**CPU Cooler** Scythe Mugen 4
**Motherboard** MSI Z97-GAMING 5 ATX LGA1150
**Memory** Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
**Storage** Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
**Video Card** MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB Twin Frozr V
**Case** Fractal Design Define R4 (Black Pearl)
**Power Supply** SeaSonic 750W 80+ Gold Certified ATX Power
**Monitor** Asus PB278Q 27.0"

Any suggestions, before i confirm my order?

Looks like a good solid build to me. You might want to consider adding a SSD to store your OS on and perhaps some games you know you'll be playing regularly but its not really a necessity.

if you're primarily gaming, might want a gaming monitor with 144Hz?

for the same price, you can get this monitor which is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236313&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10440897&PID=5961731&SID=0

is 1080p but 144Hz with no input lag.

is 1080p but 144Hz with no input lag.

I was going to mention that response time is just as important as refresh rate when it comes to a gaming monitor, however the one you have selected has a response time of 1ms. So your suggestion is a very good one

Oh yes, i forget SSD. There will be Crucial MX100 256 MB.
About monitor. I like 2560 x 1440 resolution, response time is not so important for me (i play game for fun not to compete, but like to watch nice picture in games)

The Monitor is a mainly personal preference thing, if you like the resolution of the one you selected then go for it. Plus if you want to watch netflix, dvds, etc on it then the 27" screen will be better for that.
