Is this gaming computer part list good?

[DarthShoppingMaul]

hey I'm building a gaming computer soon and I'm wondering if this is good and compatible. I'm also wondering if the cpu cooler will hit anything on the motherboard like ram or something. Thanks.

its very good.

Recommendations:

1) if you get a 850w+ psu you can throw another 980 ti down the road if you want
2) get the gigabyte wifi adapter with AC wifi. ac wifi is up to 3x faster than N, which is what the tp-link supports.

3) used to own a death adder. it was decent but had a very big claw grip. i have the g502 and i love it. such a better quality mouse. the death adder suffers from an issue where it starts to double click and its unfix-able. also, it has way less options. i actually own the blackwidow tournament keyboard and that rocks.
4) the pg278q is the old model of that monitor. new one is pg279q and its not shown on pcpartpicker. big improvement. they switched from tn to ips panel and upped the refresh rate.

alright thanks. do you know if the cpu cooler will hit anything on the motherboard?

i updated that last post with more points. cooler will be fine, especially with the low profile ram.

well u have a high res monitor so id say get a 850w psu if u can and get another 980ti when u can.... Other than that solid build mate

Your CPU cooler has a chance of not fitting as it's height is 171mm and Corsair 750D case you selected has a maximum CPU cooler height of 170mm.

do i really need the new version of the monitor? or is the one i have on the list just fine?

personally, i'm happy with my performance on my pg278q/980 ti combo with 1440p. get around 40-50 fps average generally speaking. if you get a second one your going to be over the 60fps sweet spot which will be pretty nice. its worth the consideration for the bigger psu. i bought 1000w with my single 980 ti incase i didnt like performance with 1.

you sure?

the one on the list is definitely fine, but the newer one is worth the money and is a big improvement. ips gives better color and better viewing angles. viewing angles are particularly important on a 27". for example, the top of my monitor is ever so slightly more red the higher up i look. ips has even color all the way around. also the color accuracy is a large improvement. you are buying a nice expensive system, why not get the best? its not much more.

but that a new one is rated worse then the one i want because of black light bleed. i think the old one is gonna do just fine

Yes, check the cpu product page the heigh of it is 171mm, quick google search onto Corsair's website for their 750, tech spec indicate maximum cpu cooler height supported is 170mm (i assume this is with standoffs and a average thickness motherboard).

old one is notorious for back light bleed too. the old one is also notorious for dead pixels. just be aware. reviews aren't everything. your chances of problems are the same with the new one. its asus's quality control, which you cant avoid with either monitor.

this is the alternative you should be looking at if you don't want the pg279q.

that one should satisfy you in terms of reviews. you are spending a lot of money. why would you settle for a lower end monitor when the difference is ~$100? i just don't understand, sorry to push the issue.

and better? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/8LgkkL

Again no it probably would not, you need to pick a cpu cooler that is under 170mm in height.

Yes but the pcpart picker says its compatible?
