I plan to pair it with this monitor: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06ZYHZ6R...olid=2H7BUJ6XXXCIM&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

I would like to know how this would all work together like what kind of performance can I expect from it.

Also, are there any potential issues with the motherboard in terms of compatibility with the other components? I know the PSU may be a bit excessive for the gpu and cpu, but I would like to know if that's still ok.

I currently do not plan to overclock this but I may decide to do so in the future if I feel confident that it is stable enough.

Mainly looking to play Elder Scrolls Online, on high settings most of the time, with 1080p at 144Hz (1ms, TN screen), with extra eye candy things like shadows, water reflection, bloom, etc turned off during trial/raids.

Thank you for any feedback!

DDR4-3200Mhz would be a good thing to have especially for that platform. I'm not quite familiar with DS's PSU's...but I'd be happy to look at them if you could maybe shoot us a picture?

How much is that prebuilt going to cost you? You might want to consider the idea of building the system on your own, with an idea of what's going into your system.

FYI, please stop creating multiple threads on the same topic!

Sorry, I wasn't sure how to delete my last thread. For the price I'm sticking to below $2000.

I can replace the PSU for this one: 850W Corsair RM850x (Fully Modular)

I do not know what their performance series is, but there is a 3200 Mhz 32gb option from Corsair:

32GB DDR4 3200MHz Corsair Dominator Platinum DHX (Extreme-Performance)

Current setup with adjustments so far:
