    New build.

    I’m looking to start over with a new build. I’m looking to have something that can play games at the highest level (WoW/Destiny) and I’d also like to be able to record/make videos.

    What would be a good build for this? My budget is $3000.

    May need to add more fans, if so id recommend BeQuiet! Silent Wings 3s (the high speed ones if you really need airflow).

    If you want them to have RGB bling, add Phanteks’ Halos LUX frames to them. Theyre compatible with the Aura system.

    Hey,

    I appreciate you helping me out! I've been away and completely forgot about this thread. Have any monitors you'd suggest? I'd like to have a dual display.

    actually what resolution do you want to play at?

    One of those at least for 1440p. The ips have better color but with calibration, I couldnt tell the difference between them and a Tn panel. I have friends that can but I can’t. If you get it through amazon returns are always an option.
