Comp dead

My personal opinion? If you're only using it for gaming, would've gone with 4690K, AsRock Z97 Extreme 4, R9 290

Nah he just has to handicap himself so people don't think he's hacking.

Props for making the rest of us feel better.

Also, 27in monitor (from my limited understanding of these things) may be tad large if all you are doing is gaming. Maybe a 23in or 24in would work better? <shrug> I use a 24in main with a 19in second screen and am debating on removing the 19in and just using my tablet to watch tv/surf the net while I play to improve performance.
