Hi,
I've been trying to decide whether or not to start purchasing my parts for the past couple days, since I think the build I've chosen may be overkill.
Reason I haven't purchased them yet is because I thought I could potentially get a less powerful build, but keep this one upgrade friendly. Potentially stay with the i7 but lower the GPU or other components to make it not burn such a big hole in my pocket.
My current monitor is 1080P although if I did go for this build I'd buy a second 1440P monitor to go alongside it.
Only intended uses would be gaming/browsing the web. I don't video edit nor stream etc.
Any feedback would be appreciated,
Thanks!
