That’s perfect! Thanks a ton Hellfire.

Hey everyone, sorry for the late post. Thank you all very much again for the helpful/informative responses. So, after talking some more with my friend I’ve found out precisely what he’s aiming for. His goal is 1440p max settings, with a monitor, keyboard, and mouse included in his build. Also...

How can I get this build to $1500 or closest to without sacrificing much in terms of resolution, performance, and cooling? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZttYCb

Thank you so much for the responses guys/gals! You’re all awesome. :) Excluding any peripherals though, what would be the very best $1500 build possible? (Intel over AMD preferred) Or if he is willing to go a bit higher in budget?

Hello everyone. A good friend of mine is looking for build advice on his first gaming PC. He will also be needing a monitor and wants to spend around $1500 or so for everything. What do you guys/gals recommend? Thanks a lot! I greatly appreciate it.

Thanks for the responses everyone! I really appreciate it. In addition to my PC, how much could I sell my monitor for? https://pcpartpicker.com/product/6NtCmG/asus-monitor-vs239hp

Would it make any sense to do so at this time? I currently own a 1080ti.

Yes sir, I sure do. My case came with them pre-installed and I made doubly sure that they were configured correctly for ATX sized mobos. If it helps, my mobo is the Asus ROG STRIX Z370-E and my case is the NZXT H700i. I’m just afraid of the potential damage that could occur since I don’t have...

Alright. I’m going out of my mind here guys. From what I understand, those metal tabs on the back of an i/o shield are supposed to ground/protect the mobo’s ports from static damage. But for the life of me, I can’t fit my mobo up against the i/o shield without the metal tabs blocking anything...

Which should I purchase and why? (ignore price and availability) If none from the list below, then what other model? https://pcpartpicker.com/product/KBtWGX/evga-geforce-gtx-1080-ti-11gb-ftw-gaming-icx-video-card-11g-p4-6696-kr...

Yeah, I see a lot of people choosing that card over the others. What’s the reason? I also see the Gigabyte AORUS Xtreme as a favorite. Am I overanalyzing this stuff or what lol?

I just can’t seem to decide which 1080ti to purchase, so I have to ask. Which would you choose and why? Ignoring price and availability of course. If none from the list below, then what other model...

I can’t decide. Other than cost differences, which is more ideal?

Anyone?

Will this liquid cooler fit inside of that case? https://pcpartpicker.com/product/2RdFf7/nzxt-kraken-x62-rev-2-982-cfm-liquid-cpu-cooler-rl-krx62-02 https://pcpartpicker.com/product/CVtWGX/nzxt-h700i-atx-mid-tower-case-ca-h700w-bb
