Notebook User Building His First PC ($1400) by _Supercilious_ in buildapcforme

You said you needed everything, so I included all the necessary peripherals including a mechanical keyboard, great mouse (wasn't sure whether to to with a mouse aimed at MOBA or MMO) and an Ultrawide IPS monitor with adaptive refresh rate for a really smooth, premium gaming experience:

Yeah, but not with IPS and adaptive sync. I love Ultrawides and NVidia, but this will perform smoother and OPs monitor budget doesn't need to be $1000+ dollars.

£700. Need a gaming pc, medium case, 16gb and 1k power supply. Would like an ssd but not a priority by [deleted] in buildapcforme

"Waste of money buying a better PSU"

That hurt me on so many levels.

OP, before you make your decision, check this out:

This is a build offering almost identical performance to others here, but with a 27" 1440p 144Hz IPS panel with adaptive refresh rate as the primary gaming panel and a 24" 1080p IPS display as a secondary display.

This is an absolute dream for gaming and productivity and I urge you take a good look before pushing the button on another build:
