Finally decided on an upgrade for my monitor, shyt is coming in today.

Didn't have enough to drop for an IPS/144hz joint. Finally got Freesync tho.

Here's the joint I picked up. Thanks for the recommendations.

What are you specs? I built my computer in 2012 and the only thing I've updated was the GPU. It still gives me great results in the games I play.


I have a bunch of AMD scheiß and some other budget friendly equipment. I went super cheap so it's my fault. I'm getting pre-built quality next time.

Edit: @spliz forgive me too breh. You were right. shyt is :wow:

I mean how long has this been said. Heck. I know some posters here, myself included, don't touch 60hz. :yeshrug:

Got a question since you guys might know more on this. So we have Comcast at home and they suck. Been going slow and plenty of dead spots around the house. So my dad took the modem back today. My boy recommended an arris modem and I told him to get that. He got a 6190 for like eighty bucks at best buy.

ARRIS SURFboard SB6190 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem - Retail Packaging - White

But then this guy comes back with this thing called an Eero. It's a 3 pack and he put it around the house. One by the modem. One maybe fifteen feet away and the other on the other side of the house. He spent nearly 500 dollars on that and I don't think it's necessary, maybe 1 but not 3. He said the modem is 2000 square feet which I think is decent. Was this extra thing even necessary?

The Eero is the wireless router, not another modem.

I had my desktop built last year for gaming and it's already trash. I disassembled it a few weeks ago and haven't the energy to put it back together. The crashes and shut downs have made pc gaming depressing for me.

Unless your motherboard is not upgradeable(with no so good features), i advise you to keep ryzen and then upgrade to zen2.

I did some tests with my new system, playing with overclock and i got some good passmark score :ehh:
:whew:
I just want the highest of highs in FPS and I see the writing on the wall already with Ryzen. :patrice:

It's only been 5 months and I already want to upgrade everything in my entire system. I'm trapped. What did ya'll get me into :damn:
