[Build Help] Should I go with this build?
US-Based builder here, new to building!
My budget is $1300 or so--my current parts list overshoots this goal by quite a bit. If anyone has any ideas on which components I may be able to save on (without significantly impacting performance), let me know.
I will be using this build for:
• Gaming—indie and new titles, as well (GTA V, other new titles); also may want to do some emulation, as well.
• Development; I will be doing some development in Visual Studio, though I suppose the performance will transfer here as well. Based on this, I will likely be using more than one monitor (possibly one 1440p and one 1080p), running multiple programs at once, etc..
In terms of gaming performance, I am aiming for:
• 1440p resolution.
• 60 FPS.
• I would like this build to be able to run the crop of games from the next few years on the highest settings.
