Hey, those Predators are the shyt.

The Acer and Asus monitors are gonna use the same panel, I believe.

For me though, I need that 32”. I can’t go smaller now that I’m used to this size ()

Asus will have a better resale value when next gen high refresh monitors come out
At 2K for first access is about right

Yup, smh keep pushing it back over and over, Nvidia

Imagine if they are miner cards/great at mining and asshats like me buy all of them again for months

It's that's why I didn't flat out buy a gpu....

Its better to get a Ryzen, the prices are cheap, performance is god tier (if all you're looking to do is game) and they handle most of the work. You can get a 4gb GPU and run games on ultra - smooth, with a Ryzen....that's what I'm doing currently.

"better" at a certain point. I don't recommend the Ryzen refreshers because you can get the first gen Ryzens for a good price and only sacrificing a small bit in performance.

I am not sure who I talked to, but eBay has been offering 15% off everything every few weeks or so. Get a Ryzen 7 1700 for damn near $150 and shyt

Ay brehs can ya'll drop game on a newbie to this PC shyt. I'm tryna build my first computer, been doing a lot of reading/YouTube watching but its so much info out there and shyt seems to be constantly changing.

Mainly trying to just do a basic home theater build, but I'm kinda on a budget at the moment (trying to do this for under $600 if possible)... for 4K TV/movies/streaming (Kodi/Netflix, etc.). Doesn't need to be anything super charged. Just some real basic shyt that will let me reliably stream. Not gonna do much gaming on it.

Any knowledge ya'll could kick my way about parts to keep an eye out on would be much appreciated/repped.

If you plan to play games at some point you will need to buy a video card. This system here will play your kodi smooth, streaming ect great just not game until you add a video card,.

Heh, I had an issue that befuddled me for the longest. My Dell Monitor S2716DG was randomly blacking out for less than a second and I just couldn't figure it out(thus far.) Uninstalling, reinstall drivers, making sure the cable was display port certified etc nothing worked. I then made a Reddit account and someone mentioned if I have my PC on a carpet. Well, i did.. I then brought home a nicely cut piece of wood from a warehouse at my job and disconnected everything, made sure the PC was discharged of any electricity and cleaned up the wires in the back of the PC. I then haven't had any black out in like a week. shyt is crazy.
