So I've been looking at monitors lately, and I've been seeing IPS. I looked at that too, but I don't understand what it is, and why I should get it.

Here are some monitors I've been looking at also.

Also I am planning on Going Dual Monitor with my build. So I want it to be something good.

It isn't fully done as my monitors are on the way and I haven't assembled the desk yet, will post full setup pic when it is done. Also, I know my cable management is bad, this is the first build I have done, and when I put the new thermal compound on, I am redoing all the cables and stuff. Also, I may upgrade to a i7 4770k in the future if I need to. One last thing, I decided to go with Monitor 1! Thanks for looking!

Games I've played

GMOD- ~250 FPS Solid
Minecraft- 120-280 FPS
GTA IV- ~100FPS
DIRT 3- ~160FPS
League of Legends- ~90-120 FPS
All of these were played at full settings. I was using fraps to find the FPS

Don't forget to leave a comment please!

Locked CPU + Heatsink + Z87 Board is just stupid. Why get a Z87 and a locked CPU I just don't understand. You should have posted here before you went out and bought that board as you just wasted a lot of money on a board you can't use for what it was designed for, overclocking.

.....I was trying to say this in the nice way, he can easily save up some money buy a i5 4670k or even buy a i7 4770k then sell his current CPU

but seriously what made you pick that cpu cause it was the cheapest?

Unless you are going to utilize Hyper-Threading, then the i5 4670K will be more than enough.

Yes because a i7 is going to give you millions of frames ...

Put the gpu in the top x16 lane since the one you have it in now prolly is a x4 or x8 lane.
