[SOLVED] First PC Build for me

[Thumper42]

First off I’m not a computer guy, and I never do anything half way. Sometimes a little overboard lol. I’m looking for suggestions for a PC build that will primarily be used for gaming. World Of Warcraft to be more specific, as well as my basic home computer for accounting and streaming music and movies. I really don’t have a set budget as it will be a build that will progress over the next few months. I’ve done a lot of research and found a basic idea of what I want. An ultra build that will eliminate lag time in game and hold a descent FPS. Also something that is somewhat future proof for future games, and a long lifespan. Also recommendations on if I should go 1080p at 144 hz, or bump up to 1440 on the monitor? Thanks ahead of time for any help I could get.

The Nvidia 2080 ti card runs hot, especially at load. The EVGA XC Ultra card in this list is cheaper, faster, and cooler. The 3200-speed Corsair RAM you added is good but spending a little more on faster RAM can boost performance a bit. The 1tb Samsung Evo is nice for 160, however, the HP EX950 is as fast as the Samsung Pro for less than the Evo. Also you do not need to be spending 100 dollars on Win10. You can download and install Win10 for free and then later buy a key online for about 35 dollars.

Mount the 360mm radiator on the top, note the vertical graphics card mount and led lighting of the Gigabyte Aorus RTX 2080 ti. The 660p isn't the best NVME on the market by any means, however for gaming it is the best value. You won't see/feel any difference in your games spending extra on performance. Budget spent on anything but additional capacity for gaming is irrelevant.

There are two types of monitors:
TN and IPS

TN allows for faster response time and IPS generally has better color and viewing angles. With this LG monitor you get the best of both worlds. New nano IPS technology that gives you both 1ms response time and color accuracy, as well as viewing angles of IPS.

The reasons I chose the monitor that I did was because Dell has always been very dependable for me with my home PCs and also because of the G Sync. Everything I’ve read has said that Freesync with Intel systems is very hit and miss.

My friend purchased that dell monitor and the input lag was so unbearable that he had to return it. Just keep that in mind and return it if you run into the same issue. Not only is freesync hit or miss, so are individual monitors of the same make and model. Don't let my comment dissuade you form your Dell Monitor purchase (Just keep it in the back of your head), as you might have a better experience with yours. I think LG makes a G-Sync variant. Keep in mind this monitor purchase is going to last you through multiple computer builds, so make it count by purchasing the latest and greatest technology. The LG, though it is free sync will blow that dell monitor out of the water.

Freesync/Gsync is only relevant if FPS drops below the monitor's refresh rate. That system's above FPS output won't dip that low for many years, at that resolution. If and when it does, just upgrade the graphics card.

That’s good news. Thank you
