I still have to raise money for my own PC lol. Need to sell all my unused things laying around the house. Currently I need to get at least $250 more for this :) That's why I've been asking for so many different builds. But I will definitely use the QNiX monitor for 1440P with my budget.
 


Have fun building :)
