Hey guys,

I'm helping a friend build a pc, this will be both our first time doing this. I have chosen all the parts for the PC but I wanted to know what you guys thought.

In no particular order:

What monitor?

I would never spend that much on a gaming PC and settle for 12gb of vram. Maybe just me.

In the era of 300gb AAA titles, 2TB ain't what it used to be.

That's a nice, pricey white fish tank, and a lot of boring black components you're stuffing in it. You sure that's the vibe you want?

I think 12G is fine tbh. By the time we need more, the GPU is probably obsolete anyways.

My friend already has the peripherals. For CPU he said he wanted an NVIDIA so that's what I could find without going over 2.1K. But given some other suggestions on places I can save money maybe I can change the GPU.

Also he doesnt care about the looks as he is just going to have it in a not to visible place anyways.

Thanks for the feedback

I didn't ask who had the monitor or where it was, we need to know the model/specs to determine the appropriateness of the computer/card that will driving it. If you're doing all this to pair with a 15 year old 60hz 1080p monitor you're wasting everyone's time and your friend's money.

If your friend doesn't care about looks that case is a collosal waste, just get a black box with decent intake filters and nice fans for half the price.
