First time builder, was hoping some of you more seasoned folk could look over this mid-high range gaming build for me
Does everything seem in order? Am I overspending in areas where I could cut down? Do I need fans?
Also, any good recommendations of a monitor? G-sync is not a necessity, 144hz might be nice but I'll be coming from something dreadful so I'm sure 60hz would be fine. Is it worth going 1440p with the GTX 1060 or just stick with 1080p?
Thanks a lot!
P.S Prices are in AUD, not USD.
