Hello, i'm new to this forum my reasoning for this post is to basically get ideas for as much of a future proof machine as possible. This computer will be for gaming mostly and will be running at a 1440p single monitor, not into the whole multi monitor gaming. Looking for something that will play everything Ultra/Max Settings at 2560x1440. So far I postedon tomshardware, as well as overclockers to get some ideas on hardware,etc. below are two Pc's that I have build based on opinions from others. If you guys wouldn't mind adding some recommendations, alot of the time people say well you don't need to go overboard, but that's the whole idea of this 3k monster of a machine to overkill anything so it will atleast seem future proof. Thanks again
