Thanks. I may have to wait a bit longer. The prices are different in the country i reside in. I am looking at this for future buying - Ryzen 5 Gaming Build - warzone24's Saved Part List - Ryzen 7 1700 3.0GHz 8-Core, GeForce GTX 1070 8GB, 270R ATX Mid Tower - PCPartPicker Canada

You need faster ram for Ryzen(The G skill are the ones you want). And you 27' the minimum for 1440p. Look at the Dell Monitor Rain just posted. And don't use Seagate for a mechanical HDD. Use Western Digital.

what is the deal with monitors? i want a high end computer. I might grab that Ryzen 7 and probably a 1080 ti or 1060.. what monitor is the best? I don't want to over pay something. I want 2k gaming if that is what popular these days. i think they refer it to 1440 p gaming?
"2K" is really 1080p

Brehs I was literally right around the corner from a Best Buy when I seen that price get posted. Scooped it up ASAP. shyt is mind boggling. I paid $379 for the 24 inch a week or so ago. I'm returning my 24 inch tomorrow :blessed:

Edit: I almost caught a damn heart attack when I looked at the box and seen "FULL HD" and didn't see the word "Gaming monitor" on the box. "Twice the detail of FULL HD" was the full sentence but I was in knee jerk mode.

Looked up the monitor model number and confirmed it's the right one.

So I copped that monitor...

And I'm not quite sure my eyes can properly understand what they're seeing :patrice:

I'm playing at a higher resolution so obviously performance is lower...but it feels like I'm playing at the same FPS AND smoother. What kinda sorcery is this :mindblown:

EDIT: I just went back to a game where Gsync wasn't enabled and the difference is even more noticeable :mindblown:

@LÍQUIDO @The War Report @spliz Ya'll may be right. 1440p/144hz Gsync may be the best combo for gaming right now if you have the right card.

And don't even get me started on how 1080p looks :scust:

The shyt is a night and day difference. The trade shows I attend the people looking at simple shyt on some of those Acer Predator models at 144Hz leaves people like :mindblown:

I just play on PS4, what is this? :mindblown:

Is this the same game or a sequel on PC only so far? :mindblown:

That's why I laugh at all the pixel counting the PS4/XBOX fans do, that shyt is not as important as they think it is :mjlol:

Bro. Use the settings that I gave @Fatboi1 earlier in this thread. shyt will make it that much better. And make sure u went into the windows display settings and set the refresh rate to the monitor refresh rate.

Oddly the 27 inch was set to 60hz refresh rate when I plugged it in. G sync was automatically turned on. I keep v sync off in game and just set Rivatuner to 144 fps cap.
