Thanks for all the info, Ideally I wanted to go for a IPS 1440P model to take full advantage of my new RIG, I do play a lot of FPS games but not competitively so I thought 60hz would be fine as I am coming from console games.

Hey Everyone I am back again.

I would like to thank the GB community for helping me build my first PC, I got a bit of advice a month ago and after more research I will be ordering all the parts tonight I wanted to wait to see if there was any deals for boxing day. Below will be the parts I order tonight:

As this is my first gaming PC I wanted to get a new monitor for it and had my heart set on the Acer G257HU as it had such great reviews and seemed to be the best monitor around the £250 price point for 1440p & IPS, however it is not available I have been searching for it for a few weeks but I can't find any sight in the UK that are selling these. If anyone could suggest a alternative that would be much appreciated I am looking for something that is 24 inch or more, IPS and below 300. I am willing to go to 350 if it is worth it. Also as CES2017 is round the corner is it worth me waiting until then to see the new announcements ? I was thinking not as my budget is bit low.

@wynnduffy: @oursin_360: @rethla:Thanks for that yes, I will be getting a cool master 412!. As for the CPU guess it makes sense not to wait for kabylake the OC seems like it will do the job. thank you all and enjoy your seinfield :)

@dagas: @rethla: @fnrslvr: Thank you both for your input I thought about 6600k but was apprehensive as I have never OC before but it seems to make sense value wise so I think I will go with that. Regarding the new Kabylake Chips coming in January I have been reading online that they are not worth the wait as the difference is incrimental however I could be wrong in your opinion is it worth the wait and will they be more expensive ?

Hey Everyone

Thought I would ask GB for help as this is my first time building a PC, I am mainly a console gamer but have dabbled in the PC many years ago. I have finally plucked up the courage to build my first PC as I don't own any new consoles and thought Id rather build a PC for this generation ( late i know ). My budget is between £800-900. This is the PC that I would like to build however I am open to suggestions for any tweaks or tips. It would also be a big help if anyone could reccomend a monitor for this system I have been looking online for Monitors, mainly 1080P ones as that seems to be best for this current rig. But is it worth getting a 144hz instead of a 60hz I don't know if this rig could handle it?
