She did address the concerns of the rust belt . They didn ' t like being told they had to adapt . Nothing will change that reality and I hope they eventually realize that . Then she really didn ' t address their concerns . She lectured at them . In politics and in life , that is very rarely a winning strategy . <| sep |> Well , welcome to the world of PC gaming ! This stuff will all be second nature to you before you know it . Overwatch can be surprisingly taxing on a machine on higher settings , and is one of the most common things we get asked about here . My main question would be why are you specifically set on 144 hz ? That is a good target to have and everyone has their own preferences on what matters more , but most folks will weight other things more importantly first . The build you listed above is pretty solid . You could save a little money in a few places Drop the PSU to an RM 750 i from corsair , that ' s a better PSU for less money . Get the CPU cooler later . Air cooling will be fine for you for now . You only need to move to liquid cooling once you move to overclocking , and you have no real reason to care about overclocking . You could save $ 5 by losing the overclocking ability on your i 5 , but I feel like it ' s worth the measly $ 5 Drop down to a 500 gig 850 EVO , which is a faster drive for less money You can save a little money by getting a very slightly worse video card . Factory OC is going to help you very little , so windforce is probably a better choice for a 1070 . Dropping to an equivalent monitor 60 hz saves you nearly $ 200 monitorumfs 1 aa 001 I personally recommend making the jump to 144 hz at the same time as making the jump to a 1080 . The 1070 will get you a reliable ~ 75 fps or so on most things , and the difference is nowhere near as big as places like PCMasterRace would claim . I ' d also rather have two monitors at 60 hz than one monitor at 144 , and that ' s considering I play almost exclusively shooters .
