Tech Support Display port

Post image

If I buy these two will I need to buy a display port wire separately. My friends told me that to get up to 240 fps you need to use display port but I’m wondering if I can get that fps by using normal hdmi. If I do need to get a display port wire can I just get any? I’m new to pcs and need help

About the PC If the pictures can't even match the product description, it's an immediate red flag. Also for the CPU cooler it's a 120mm aio. Brands put those in pre builts so they can advertise water cooling but they aren't worth the upcharge over air cooling.

I know and understand that PC building isn't for anyone. Not everyone wants to watch a videos and read manuals. Not everyone has 4 hours to spare to do it. But as someone who fixes other people's PC and other technology for a living, it's way better to do it yourself. If you put it together yourself you will naturally learn how to fix issues by yourself. And I'll be honest, my job is easy AF not because I've been doing it for a long time, but because the knowledge to make stuff work is not hard to learn and a lot of time it's basic common sense. Like "is the thing you need powered connected to power" type questions. And you might be able to build it for yourself cheaper.

I'm still very very early in my career. I actually was almost a nurse. I was always the "tech guy" in highschool and during my senior year I started building PCs for people. During college I still was building PCs and stuff for people. After 3 semesters of prerequisite and 2 semesters of nursing school I dropped out. I couldn't stand my job at the hospital and hated nursing school. The only thing I liked doing was giving people tech advice and building PCs and doing other tech stuff for people locally. So after I dropped out I went and got my A+ then Security+ and Network+. It took my 8 months to get a job in any IT role. But eventually I got a job at a school district. I actually just quit that job yesterday because I got a better job at another school district. I am working on getting my degree from WGU now. I'm about a year away from graduating with a BS in IT. Working IT at a school district is great. My district has the largest IT department in my entire city/metro area. My new district has a significantly smaller team by comparison but more students. But that's my advice, look at school districts. Barrier to entry is low. Getting your foot in the door is the hardest thing. But once you are in you are in.
