How should i spend $2000 to play in a 1440p monitor?

[EddyCosta32]

Firstly i'd like to apologize for my poor english. But here's the deal: I'm going to travel to the USA and i intend to buy all the parts for a gaming PC there, and i have $2000 to spend on it. I also want, in the near futute, to buy a 27'' 1440p monitor. Having this in mind, i've started to research what is the best cost-benefit options to build a $2000 rig that can run modern games on 1440p with 60-40 fps. I've watched a video in youtube showing a Shadow of Mordor benchmark in 1400p with everything maxed out with VERY good fps, and the guy on the video had this specs:

i7 4770k
Noctua NH-D14 cpu heatsink
2x4gb Gskill Ares 2400 ddr3 RAM
Asus Maximus Hero VI motherboard
2x Gigabyte Windforce GTX 970s in SLI
2x1TB Western Digital Blue hard drives
Corsair HX1000 power supply
Corsair Air 540 case

I think i'll buy the same build with the following differences: i7 4790k instead of 4770k; 2x8gb of ram instead of 2x4; 1TB HD and 1 250gb or 160gb ssd instead of 2x1TB HD; and a 850w corsair gold plus PSU instead of a 1000w. So, this is where i ask the help of you guys. Is this build enough to play modern games (like Dragon Age Inquisition and the soon-to-be-launched Witcher 3) in 1440p, everything maxed out (with the exception, perhaps, of msaa, which i'm gonna use x2) with 60-40 fps? If not, how do you think i should spend my money? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

EVGA G2 Power Supply. Corsairs seem good, but honestly, ask SR71 Blackbird, he LOVES THE EVGA G2 series.

MAKE SURE YOU GET THE G2 SERIES OF EVGA, NOT THE G1.

Between the EVGA G2 and the Corsair Gold, HAnds down EVGA. EVGAs are gold and full modular also.

Hmmm, ok, thanks for the answer. Will 850w be enough?

The new NH-D15 is out now, it is a real monster and out performs the D14, if your going BIG may as well go Top Dog. If gaming is the name of the game consider a Crucial MX100 series SSD, they are the best GB/$ deal going, a few ms either way will not affect gaming and save some money. You list the HERO VI, get a HERO VII w/Z97. Yes, an 850W PS will do fine with a pair of 970s (145W each). Figure 300W graphics, 130W OCed CPU, 120W for everything else, 20% Overhead, comes to about 650W generously, the 850W will give plenty of breathing room.

Hmm, i'll keep that in mind, endeavour37a. Hero VII it is, then. Thanks for the repply! Stiil , my biggest dilemma is the GPU. I thought in two possibilities: i buy 2 superclocked gtx 970, invest in the other parts of the PC (mobo, processor, etc) and build my system around the safe overclocking of those two cards; OR, i get two supercloked gtx 980 and sacrifice the other parts of the PC to be able to buy those expensive cards. What do you guys think is the best? Is 2 gtx 970 enough to play the games i mentioned (DA Inquisition and Witcher 3) with almost everything maxed in 1440p, 60-40 fps?

I would build a great rig with one 980, then add another later down the road when I need to. Graphics cards will come and go, a basic solid system to plug them into will carry forward. The base rig is what everything else works off of, getting 2 970s now, well there you are, maxed out. Getting a 980 now leaves you room to get another.
