Extra information about desired system:
Hi everybody! I would like your opinion and pro help since its my first time building my own rig. My setup was inspired by one of ROG video
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grd-ltAm2Gw). So basically, I'm trying to copy it but not the whole thing. Please guide me if I lack something or need something to improve this setup. Im planning to use 1 monitor either 1080p or 4k capable. I plan to buy GTX 780i and upgrade later. Also, wanted to know if this setup will require thermal or liquid cooling or will it survive with just fans? With the said setup, will it last 3-4 years atleast?
Also, any recommendation for a good monitor? Preferably, 4k around 23 - 25 inch.
TIY!
