New Member- First Gaming PC Build

[Ertrius]

Hi everyone!

I`m new to this forum and my first post will be asking your advise and opinions on my first PC build. I would like to know if you see any parts that would be better than I chose, or a smarter choice than I made. I will be using this computer for gaming, surfing the internet, storing documents like books, manuals, and pictures. In the future I would like to add one or two more graphic cards. (SLI) Here is my list that I put on Partspicker. Also I will be overclocking the CPU.

sick build if u can afford it go for it, except them ram u will notice no difference in gaming, but it looks cool right?

. however i would go with this monitor sicne it looks like ur not on a budget:

Thanks ninja,
I do have a limit on what I can spend, and that is $3000 for now. I really want this monitor- ROG SWIFT PG348Q. So I thought I would get the PB287Q for now, and then next year get the 348Q.
Will there be any problems or disadvantages with the PB287Q?

its good but i would go for a 2k screen with gsync/ that removes screen tearing completly , but thats me and thats up to you.
also 2k uses less gpu pwoer which results in more fps and a smoother gameplay, combine that with g sync...

its up to you

 

[Ertrius]

Can you recommend other Asus monitors with G-sync that are under $500, so that I can still be at or under $3000 with the parts that I chose.

I was looking at the Vengeance® LPX 16GB (4x4GB) DDR4 DRAM 3000MHz C15 Memory Kit - Red (CMK16GX4M4B3000C15R) which costs less than the Dominators, and are faster. What do you think?

2k screens wityh gsyinc start at a higher price :/

Okay, one question though. The QVL for the Asus motherboard I chose, only lists (4x4GB) memory listed for all Corsair part numbers. And this is listed that way for all speeds. Will (2x8GB) still be good?

Yes 2 x 8 will be fine, and you may benefit from faster memory. The RAM manufacturers also have QVL configurators on their websites for RAM and you can check there too. Sometimes the newer memory hasn't been tested yet.

Thanks Bearmann for the info.
Those Ripjaws look really cool. I think I will choose those.

This is my updated parts list on Partspicker. It`s a $100 plus over my limit, but I think I can manage it. I will have to buy a few pieces at different times, instead of all at once.

I got a blank list- no parts.

The link works for me. I`ll post it again.
