Is this a good pc

[Me_Dont_Know]

will this pc http://nz.pcpartpicker.com/p/Ynj4GX run any game at max settings in 1440p at 60fps+

 

[i7Baby]

Yes. And the 970s take $600nzd off your build compared to the 980s too.

 

[Me_Dont_Know]

Thank this is what im going to buy

 

[Me_Dont_Know]

Do you have a recommended monitor for 1440p preferably 27" because i will only have one moniter

Can you get the Overlord? I think the Swift is way too expensive.

I like Asus eg http://www.asus.com/au/Commercial_Monitors_Projectors/PB278Q/specifications/ -about $400US in the US.

 

[Me_Dont_Know]

I have built this http://nz.pcpartpicker.com/p/hcv6mG it has 1080p monitor because all the monitors that i have access to in nz are way to expensive

 

[i7Baby]

I'd prefer 24 in - not so grainy.

 

[Me_Dont_Know]

http://nz.pcpartpicker.com/p/DQhq7P just change monitor to 24inch.

Would i be able to overclock the 2 970s to pretty much 2 980s preformance

 

[i7Baby]

Yes that's what they say in http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/graphics/2014/09/19/nvidia-geforce-gtx-970-review/14
"That brings us to the MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G, and of the three it's this one that stands out as the best. At £282, it's the cheapest on test and only £20 more than reference pricing. Despite this, its solid boosting credentials means it matches the EVGA for speed in most tests. The slightly lower than dual slot height of the cooler also makes it a good choice for those looking to run two GTX 970 cards in SLI. Furthermore, it has the beefiest power delivery system of all three cards, and with this we managed to overclock it to a level that actually surpassed the GTX 980 at stock speeds. Your mileage may vary, of course, but this is undeniably a fantastic result. Add in the super quiet operation and semi-passive cooling mode, and you've got yourself a truly awesome graphics card."

 

[Me_Dont_Know]

Yeah Problem is i cant afford to ship parts from us to NZ so i only have a choice between Evga, gigabyte and Asus Strix.
Pretty sure i cant get msi 970 in nz

 

[i7Baby]

I'd say it'd be the same with any gtx970. OC it and you match a stock 980.

 

[Me_Dont_Know]

should i go with water cooler for cpu cuz im afraid that it might break and destroy everything if not do you know of the best air cooler?

And should i use memory with a bit more speed?

Also do i need an ssd?

 

[Me_Dont_Know]

Sorry for so many questions but i dont want to buy it and it not be any good

 

[i7Baby]

Water cooler is good for overclocking.

RAM is good. 1866, 2133 and 2400 are all OK. But 1866 is best because you can get cas 9 and 1.5V. Cas 9 1866 is the same speed as cas 10 2133 or cas11 2400.

I think an SSD is a great idea. I use 120gb for my OS and not much else. With 250GB you can put your most useful software eg games, office etc for fast load times.

 

[Me_Dont_Know]

Is there a case that's any better?
preferably with blue lights and black case and window i don't plan to make it look awesome mostly will just sit under my desk just want it to look cool at front.
or should i just stick with the case i have

 

[Me_Dont_Know]

http://nz.pcpartpicker.com/p/w7gLjX this is what i have so far

 

[i7Baby]

I'd change the ram back to a 2 x 8gb kit - to ensure it'll work.

Corsair CX are a crappy PSU. Get the Antec HCG 750M instead - http://nz.pcpartpicker.com/part/antec-power-supply-hcg750m

 

[Me_Dont_Know]

Do you know of any good ram?

In nz i have a choice of these cards.

 

[i7Baby]

Any of them are good.

ram - http://nz.pcpartpicker.com/part/gskill-memory-f31866c9d16gsr

Case - the R4 is good. But I like HAF XM better - more room - but not available in NZ. And there's nothing better than the R4 for the price.

 

[Me_Dont_Know]

Thx for all the help

 

[i7Baby]

No worries. Good luck with your build.
