I need some help deciding on a build which will be used for gaming and programming. My main concerns are with the graphics card and monitors. I am not sure if the 4GB 770 is the right choice here. I would like to run most games at full settings but will only be gaming at 1080p. Also I will only be gaming on 1 monitor believe that 2 144hz monitors is overkill but am not sure of another cheaper monitor of the same size. Any advice or feedback is appreciated.
