I am looking to get a new pc since my current one is getting old and my goal is to get a 1440p montior (60hz or 144hz not sure) so i can start maxing everything out. I am looking for any advise either bad or good. Things I could save money on verus other areas where I should spend more. I dont know about the case yet, since I have to measure first, so who knows if this will be the one. I couldnt tell you how to pick out a motherboard, so i just took one that was cheaper and didnt do multi video cards. Thanks again.

I'd go with a higher quality PSU and add in at least something like a Hyper 212 if you want to Overclock.
Is this a configurator on some custom builder's site? That's what it looks like to me.

I don't have an interest in overclocking. I assume I shouldn't with a setup like this. It is a custom build. Sometimes it hard to know if you forgot something or if something doesn't make sense.

Get i7 8700 if you are not overclock.

I don't care about ssd. In the build I didn't get an option to remove it. I'm ok with a standard hard drive. People said even if you don't oc the cpu it's still good because the ghz is higher. I assume for the psu ur not saying more watts just more efficient.

Well lower end EVGA PSUs are pretty bad. So are low end PSUs from most companies. Look for a cheap Seasonic like the S12II 620W. That's a solid one.

You will when you actually use one.

I don't think most people need more than 120GB of SSD storage. I have pretty much all of my games except Battlefield 1 on my hard drives. That's just my opinion. Maybe others care more about game loading times than I do :p
