Hello All,
I am looking to invest in a new desktop primarily for heavy gaming with some light music production. Planning on also purchasing a 1440p monitor to accompany it which from what I have read the GTX 980 should be more than capable of maximizing.
I would appreciate a sense check of the below build and any opinions on potential changes. Budget is flexible another hundred or so but ideally wouldn't want to spend much more unless there is a significant benefit.
Thank you in advance for your help.
