I got advice from my cousin who said, "970 with an i5 is overkill" I asked if there is a cheaper alt and he said, "I7 or going down to a 700" Would an the send option still function good and be significantly cheaper?
Ok, probably the final thing is what cable should I use to connect my "brain" to my monitor. I've heard display Port 1.2 is the best. Is this true? Also are display port 1.3's out? Can these be bought at say department store or tech places lke best but or will I need to order them?
Depends on the monitor you get honestly. If it's a basic 1080p monitor then almost anything will work.Ok, probably the final thing is what cable should I use to connect my "brain" to my monitor.

Finally, my ending here. I'm not trying to discourage people from posting, but if you do not have the money now to purchase within a week of posting then please do not make a build thread. Hardware is still changing around every 6 months. Prices change continuously. Some people on here like to build with combo deals, promo codes, ect. These go away within a few days and if you don't have the cash to take advantage of them then it makes it a useless waste of time to make a build for you. That 600 dollar build could wind up being 800 with the same parts from either inflation or the removal of certain deals. That same 600 bucks could also get you a better rig in 3 months time due to prices lowering for whatever reason. So even though we want you to post questions, please don't make us make a build and waste that time when you can't actually purchase it within a reasonable time. Another thing, is I wont typically recommend waiting for new parts to come out unless it's a big deal or a game changer for your money.
Refresh doesn't = FPS or vice verse.
Also, should have said something about a future build in which I'd quote myself.
Since nothing is happening currently besides CES announces the list might not change much, but I bet when you can actually purchase the parts a part or two will need to be changed.
