First Gaming Build

[Sinnnn]

Planning to get my first Custom Gaming Build. The problem now is that I have no idea what monitor and keyboard to get. Any ideas?

they will ask you what game you want to play first

and budget lol

I can recommend you a $10k build but got money anot

 

[Sinnnn]

Usual FPS AAA Titles. Both Dota 2 and LOL. The occasional watching of movies and TV Shows. Budget wise I guess would be bang for buck cause I'm totally new to the Gaming Monitor and keyboard scene.

Dota2 and Lol does not require 'gaming monitor' per se. For sure u don't need qhd nor 144hz... U also never mention the size. People want to recommend also so hard. Pls be more specific.

Ok more of FPS games. Size wise would be 25 inches. Please excuse the lack of info.

You really need a budget lol

It would make recommending much easier if you place some "restrictions" for what you need

Can do dual or single slots. Not necessary to populate all ram channels.

 

[twlee88]

really? dang..i read somewhere mentioning MoBo with 4 slots need 4x4gb to achieve 16gb..went ahead and bought 4x4gb for my 4 ram slot mobo..shud have just grab 2x8gb

 

[MoneyFace =p]

Even people are getting 1x 8GB sticks to suffice their needs. Dual channel benefit is unnoticeable.
