Specifications: I’ve always preferred Intell and Nvidia systems. Not sure on choosing the best ssd, ram, and case fans.

I still need to buy a 1440p monitor and would like suggestions with high refresh rate and panel type; IPS, VA, LED?

Is it worth upgrading from the default case fans? Are they rgb fans?

The monitor I’m looking to buy is Alienware - AW3418DW 34.14" IPS LED UltraWide HD G-SYNC Monitor - Epic silver. Does anyone have any experience with this monitor?

The Corsair LL Series fans perform very well and look incredible on the Lumos. The Corsair ML Series fans ( magnetic levitation bearings) are top of the line and would likely last the longest. Suggest you look at them both on the Corsair website to see the differences. Believe the stock fans are RGB, but limited...look different than the LL or ML.
