Quick info
- I live in Sweden, so the prices down below are irrelevant.
- I picked out the parts using recommendations from people and doing my own research based on what I want.
- Speaking of what I want:
- Ultra settings gaming
- Online/Competitive gaming
- My monitor of choice is down below: 3Kx1440
- Something that'll last me for the next 5+ years (hopefully)
- I'm pretty confident in and set on the:
- CPU & CPU Cooler
- Power Supply
- RAM
- The Monitor
- The Case (As long as it does the job.)
- Uncertain about:
- Motherboard (I just want something that can handle all the other components. I think it's enough, right?)
- Storage (I can't choose between the two. I don't plan on video editing, just want general programs to boot up fast, but is the difference drastic? I'm leaning towards Kingston, save $200.)
- GPU (Is there any point to buying OC'd GPUs anymore? It's supposed to be real easy today with certain software, right?)
- Other questions:
- Are the rig and the monitor a good match?
- Any tips just in general?
- /Thanks.
