did you need your monitor included in the price?

 

[Kyries]

No, it would only need to be included if you guys could find a better monitor.

 

[Bad_Kitty13]

well if your looking for 144hz thats pretty much the best your going to get without sacrificing performance or quality and its only 88 over your budget

 

[Kyries]

Thanks for all the help guys, it was all really useful. Hopefully within the week I'll be able to have everything built. Thanks again!

 

[Bad_Kitty13]

enjoy the buttery smoothness of 144hz gameplay
