My hopes and dreams

[GossamerFox 53]

Nothing more than a dream 

 

If I had this kind of money, this would be my build plus 2 monitors and some fancy keyboard. Totalling over $2150... smh

Holy shit. 

What's your opinion on the VG248? I was thinking about getting two of those if I suddenly won a large sum of money.

I agree that it is a decent build. But when I think about hopes and dream I imagine 2TB SSDs.

I like it, gets the job done. The 3D is pointless imo, glasses cost 80$

The 3D is part of the reason why the monitor has a high refresh rate.

Do you use it though?

I don't think I'd ever use 3D.. On the flip side it seems like its one of the most highly rated monitors at the moment. I was originally thinking one of them, and then some office quality 60hz for whatever im multitasking on... This would drop the price a good $200 but would look out of place next to this build imo.

Nope, and I don't plan on it. 3D is a gimmick.

If you're dreaming, why not Titan XPs in SLI?

This is something I've thought about... but wouldn't risk with this much at stake.

if you wanna pay for it you can get a key on g2a or kinguin; it worked for me

Thanks for mentioning this, I had no idea you could do that. Will definitely consider this. I've never had an issue getting games from g2a, I don't see how an OS is any different.

Straight up, you're risking nothing. I built a pc over the summer with a 1080, ssd, etc. I still didn't pay for windows. Why? Because why the hell would I pay for something when I can get it for free? Windows says I'm legitimately activated, I get updates like everyone else, there is literally no reason to pay for it. Microsoft makes the vast majority of their windows sales on corporations who have to buy several thousand licences of windows at a time. Save yourself the cash, and if you still feel the urge to give up your cash, do what Piero said and buy a key on g2a.

Damn. Alright, i'll look into it. Really appreciate the other perspective here, thanks

pfft... You need nvme. Or the 2TB one for double the price...

Hey, we don't condone pirating here at saved gamers. Please don't encourage this.

 

Overall, decent build to work towards. I would go up to at least a 500GB SSD, and honestly preferably an nvme one (the one I linked, just smaller - 256 in that is reasonably priced (or even the 500, the prices will continue to drop and be very reasonable by the time you can build something like this..)). Also I've loved the h100i but I know a lot of people have an h60, which I've heard works really well, especially if your case doesn't have the space for the bigger one. Another thing to note (I didn't look at your case at all) but when I had a mid tower case, my video card had maybe an inch at most clearance... It was a tight fit.. Just make sure whatever case you go with when you do a build has plenty of room.

Be careful if you go this route. If you make a major hardware change at all (motherboard is the usual culprit), you have to buy a new key because they sell OEM keys for those prices and microsoft will not help you if you run into an issue. Even at key number 2 the full license becomes nice to have and can be less of a headache in the long run, especially where microsoft is trying to make W10 their last standalone OS

My dream is to upgrade this shitty i5-6400 so it could keep up with my gpu. Also an ssd would be nice!

Don't worry dude i'm poor as well your not alone.

I hear Linux is free, too bad drivers and game support are still crap. 

 

If you're planning on going the Windows route Rofl is correct. Any hardware change could result in needing a new copy of Windows for an OEM key.
