Upgraded, finally

That's perfect, it's 144hz, and has the resolution you want/1440p, which again IMO are 2 of the more important items on the flow chart of gaming LCD check boxes, the 144hz being the very top.  Obviously it's less than 1/2 the cost of the IPS/Gsync/27" optioned monitors, and if I was going to pick one without those options this AOC would be in the top 1 or 2 I'd be considering for the options you want now.  You'll notice a massive improvement in all games moving from 60 to 144hz, and the higher res option with the 1440p will be great too.

Thanks, again, for the info Gman! It's ordered.

A system as sweet as the one you have, have you considered looking at an ultrawide monitor?  They give the same screen real estate as 2 monitors side by side with no bezel in the middle.

I looked at a few but right now with my current desk, the best I can do is 2 separate 24" monitors. One has to be angled a bit, but is only used for displaying stuff while I'm in games so I don't have to alt-tab.

That is a nice build that can be expected to give you years of good service.  I7-7700K is plenty of power, and doesn't really break the bank.  I'm used to doing server builds with multiple Xeons, so $350 on a CPU is not a big deal.  Good job picking an SSD and a HDD - you need the reliability of a HDD to be safe, but you really have to do an SSD these days to get the benefits of all that speed CPU and RAM speed.

Finally got power back after Irma and got everything up and running. With all settings maxed at 2560x1440 on the runway I average around 70FPS and flying around I'm staying in the 130-150FPS range. 20K+ and I'm around 195FPS.

Just out of curiosity, why did you go with a small SSD and spinny data drive, when 1TB SSDs aren't all that badly priced?  Couple hundred bucks difference, although I suppose since you had it built, the vendor might be price gouging on SSD upgrades...

Didn't have a reason for that size of an SSD. I only wanted one for OS and I don't have a need for anything else to be on it.

Planning on 1440p. Any monitor recommendations?

Yea, the Oculus Rift
