All white build parts are finally here :D

kav1257 · 6 Sep 2020 at 09:25

I just received my new components for the all white build. Tried to get as many white components as I possibly could.
Only parts missing are graphics card, awaiting the release of the 3090. Which I'm hoping to get, can anyone recommend a good monitor to pair my hardware and graphics card with.

I will be doing a Youtube build video of the PC. The new system will be used for streaming, video editing and capturing PS4 footage for my new Youtube channel.

What do you all think of the selected components and are they a good match. Any feedback or guidance would be much appreciated.

What size monitor and resolution do you want ?

Maybe a widescreen ?

kav1257 · 6 Sep 2020 at 09:47

Hi i'm looking at maybe a 27" or 32" Widescreen would be good. I cant really have a bigger size as the space on the desk is limiting.

Resolution 4K

G-sync monitors are much more expensive is this important to you and at what refresh rate 60, 75 ,144hz ?

Do you have a budget ?

I was looking into the G-Sync monitors as I thought they would work very good with the newly released GPU 3090. I have seen a few monitor with a 200hz refresh rate. I've never really purchased a gaming monitor before.

Budget would be around the £500 mark. I was thinking of going for a new OLED 4K TV and using that as a monitor? Or would you recommend using a separate monitor for the PC.

The cheapest 4k g-sync monitor I could find is £750.

Separate monitor would be better at higher refresh rate, for gaming .

kav1257 · 6 Sep 2020 at 10:33

Oh right, yeah I kind of figured a separate monitor would be better.

Do you have a link for that monitor by any chance?

Here is a list of 4k monitors on overclockers some with gsync go through and compare google.

Ips is suppose to be the best type.

Both out of stock unfortunately

It may be worth posting in the monitor section of the forum.

B550 gigabyte Vision .. white AMD board

Though Strix on Strix makes sense

Plan ahead if your after PS5 capturing/streaming etc .

Same 49" TVs have both G-sync and Freesync along with hdmi 2.1 etc .

Surprised you didn't go for the new Corsair QL fans

Yeah as @orbitalwalsh said, you missed a trick. You could've got the Gigabyte B550 Vision D mobo

Also missed the Corsair Vengeance RAM white modules these ones.

I can't believe you've spent all that Asus tax and got a 240GB NVMe drive too, what on earth? Lol
