Hey, I'm in Australia and recently built a PC for 1440p 140fps gaming with a budget around $2200. I have researched and talked thoroughly with friends, read forums, countless reviews and am here for some final feedback and suggestions. Will be building with a friend who has 30 years experience with computers.
Would like suggestions on maybe a better mobo that is fully compatible with the 970 Evo. Suggestions on other parts or even a whole different build would be looked at. Here's my build. Cheers.
