Good build for 4k60 and Unreal Engine?
- Thread starter Lockstar
- Start date
It will be HDMI 2.0 so you shouldn't need to worry. However, I would use 2 DP cables regardless. It's plug and play.

Easy as HDMI. There aren't even little screws like on VGA cables. Plug and play.
To unplug it there can be a button/raised spot on the connector you need to push down to release the cable.
You could actually plug them into different ones if you wanted, but yeah, both into the same GPU is fine. There's no real down side to plugging both into the same one, and it's simpler.
Apparently it's HDMI 1.4 according to the sales page on overclockers and people on the Acer forums. The Acer product page itself just says "Yes" for HDMI. lawl.

Yeah, true
So is it pretty much just putting a keyboard and mouse into USB ports (at the back is where I usually put them) and sticking a DP cable into the GPU port at the back?
I was gonna pay someone £79 to do that?
Another thing, as a CPU cooler, should I have the Hydro Cooler 80i and have 2 extra case fans, or have the 100i with no extra case fans (says about that when I proceed, that 2 extra case fans may not be fittable).
Finally, will a 500GB SSD have enough space to install the entire OS on it? Thanks!

I'm really surprised at that, bit of an oversight from the manufacturer but I guess the DP option makes it a moot point.
Definitely not worth the £79 IMO.
I would go with the H100i personally, the H80i is decent but no better than an air cooler. The coolers on the H100i will work as fans anyway...... that's what they are. PCS will configure it all for optimum push/pull I would think.
500GB is plenty for the OS and a decent handful of games

Agreed with this.
I wouldn't bother getting any extra fans.
If your case is the COOLERMASTER MASTERBOX 5t it has 5 120mm mounting points. 3 front, 1 rear, 1 top.
The H100i will take up 2 front ones. The case has 2 fans by default, one of which will be rear and the other PCS will either keep at the front or relocate to the top. An extra fan doesn't really seem worth it, or necessary.
Thanks everyone!
I ended up going with a 1080p monitor for my second monitor. 1ms response time, 75hz refresh rate compared to my primary monitor’s 60hz. But then again, finding a 4K monitor above 60hz is pretty difficult to be fair. The 1080p monitor is only £156 as well.
Also, the case I chose has a three fan capacity. So it has the to fans at the front and also has a capacity for a fan at the back so i ended up choosing one extra case fan at the rear.
