That's really going to depend on the game. Some games run just fine via programs like DOSBox or on a Virtual PC (like VirtualBox or HyperV) others are more picky.
It had one of the oddest ways to connect a monitor that I've ever seen and I wonder if it might be a pain in the arse to connect to current GPUs. The IPS panels in the display were decent but nothing that current panels can't beat. Frankly I would only get one if you can get it extremely cheap...
For the most part it looks like a solid build in terms of componenets chosen although I would see if you could perhaps fit an i5 into the budget if at all possible.
From what I've read they seem to be a reputable company but I don't have any firsthand experience. I think there was one person on the forums that purchased a system from them that he was generally happy with but most of the folks in this section are looking to build their own. There are a bunch...
The Gaming 5 board that I linked has USB 3.1 support with a C connector and an ALC1150 audio chipset with some enhancements for quality audio which should work out quite well for you.
The monitor looks like a decent unit, the AOC units that I've seen in stores have looked nice and crisp for the most part although I don't have any personal experience with that monitor it looks to be a solid buy. I agree with most of your changes although I still prefer the Gigabyte board, had...
The higher refresh rate doesn't necessarily push you towards a 1070. The 480 should be able to push a 144hz at 1080p resolution at 140 fps most of the time, there may be some games where you have to lower the detail level a bit to get it to run at that framerate but not too many. If you're...
I'm going to say it right now, for 1080p gaming as its main duty your rig is overkill, by a very large factor. Nothing is "wrong" with it per se but unless you plan on doing tasks that put a heavier load on the CPU by a good margin it's big time overkill. Here's the build I would recommend...
The issues with EVGA ACX 3.0 cards have already been addressed with a VBIOS update which by the time the op purchases will be loaded on the majority of the cards on the shelves. Presuming Kaby Lake comes out on time and it is the same time the op is purchasing then yes I would recommend Kaby...
Some of monkey's choices I agree with, others I do not. Here's my proposed build, keep in mind as has been stated that prices do change between now and spring:

A while back I posted about my router hitting a bandwidth limitation due to CPU usage ( Asus Rt-n16 for reference) and I've been waiting for a deal on a decent newer router. It recently occurred to me that I have a server with more than enough spare resources to run pfsense in a VM. The question...
So it's on the high end of your budget but within budget even after purchasing a keyboard and mouse unless you go nuts with those:

Truth be told unless you're doing transcoding a Pentium will work fine for your needs. I'd probably recommend something like the ASRock H97M Anniversary Edition for the motherboard and a Pentium G3258 for a total cost of about $120. The Pentium could probably even handle transcoding as long as...
