S340 Elite Minimal Build

[Coreyking10]

I want a S340 Elite case, but I don't know how to pick out parts that would give me maximum performance, medium-high performance of bf1, and overwatch under 900.

Do you need OS/monitor?

Do you need OS/monitor?

I have a monitor, and peripherals.

Is it a 60Hz or 144Hz monitor?

I was gonna get a free sync, or g sync, but I'm not sure now. I just want a good monitor where it wont bottleneck on bf1 and ow

Freesync and G-Sync are overrated for the price, and the monitor i've selected offers the best experience in that range.
Go with what i've listed.

Ik what they are, but the monitor you picked. How is that better than a gync monitor?

 

[Chugalug_]

Not sure what you're trying to ask?
A standard 144hz monitor isn't better than a G-Sync monitor if that's what you're asking, but G-Sync isn't really used above 60ish FPS, and it is most definitely not worth the extra $100 or so at 1080p.

So can the build you built be have this 144hz monitor?

What are you trying to say? You didn't link anything and i've already included one of the best value 144Hz monitors on the market.
