[Build Ready] Gaming PC suggestions? I'm always scared to pull the trigger because i'm afraid that I will spend all this money and then the computer won't be good enough or something will go wrong, so I'd love some input.
Just want some input on a few things.
Should I stick with this 1440p monitor or go for a 144hz one?
Should i stick with this motherboard?
