some questions i have:

1. Can i overclock this if i buy a heatsink like the hyper 212 EVO? or do you reccomend a better heatsink?
2. is 500W enough if i plan to run a 144hz monitor and overclock as well?
3.should i stay with this intel build or make an AMD build?
4. is there better options in terms of bang for buck regarding the optical drive and hard drive?

ill be back, i jus wanted to post this so i get answers when i come back

im looking to buy one of these, or i might go for the benq xl2410T since it has alot of reviews and background experiences. These 2 monitors are brand new and just released so i dont know how good they are. both are only $280 range while the xl2410t is $380 for some reason.

im leaning towards the benq, please give your thoughts

whys it so much cheaper compared to the benq which is like 400$

if i get that 144, i have to stay above 144 fps?

yeaa snail i asked my friend bout that, he said no one uses 144 hz atm, id rather hear good feedback first

tyyy copper for the reply lol. Ive decided im not gonna downgrade the processor, since this computer is prob gonna last me for a long time, i would probably upgrade to the 2500k anyways. I changed the case to something cheaper but still good like you said, please take a look at the new wishlist.

Can u recommend a better but cheaper MOBO, i was thinking of changing the RAM but most of the ram are about the same price (link me one if u find a good deal)..., also recommend me a cheap but effective heatsink since im gonnna OC.

I have a 700w PSU from my old computer, is that enough to handle this build? and can you make sure everything is compatible with eachother here.

fixed link bros

i dont wanna drop a fortune jus for a monitor lol, besides khaki, which, the xl2420t or the older one,... xl2410?

disengage, thanks bro, i already used it, i want an updated answer

i read bad reviews about the acer, so thats outta the question. I want to get the benq but they are over $400, can u guys reccomend the best ones out there atm.

$200-360 ish hopefully

hi,

i want to build a pc and get a 120hz. i havent researched alot of the 120hz yet but lets just say they are $350 for now. so that means the pc has to be 400-500 ish. i built a rig on newegg, please take a look at it and give me suggestions on how to cut down the price. I just want this pc to play tf2 with high settings + high fps, in the future i might get into a new COD or battlefield, but that wont be an issue for now.

the reason its only a few parts is because i already have the other spare parts from my old pc.

some things i was thinking:
-change cpu for an AMD one or a good i3 one and buy a heatsink for overclocking the gpu+cpu, please recommend me a cpu to change to

-i dont really want to change the GPU or case, so the things i can change are the CPU, RAM, mobo.

I want the total cost to end up at about $600-700 if possible.
