I grabbed a dual monitor VIVO arm off Amazon for my 27 and 20in monitors about a year and half ago because they were the cheaper option compared to HUANUO.

Hadn't had an issue with them so far.

Any monitor arm suggestions?

The Amazon basics one works well enough.

I think I'm running their dual arms, no gas piston. No functional issues with them. Sometimes I wish they had a little more height.

I'm going with a Z690 motherboard and an Intel 13th gen processor in that MATX case I posted earlier.

I was wondering y'all take on 4k 32inch 240hz or 144hz vs 1440p 27 inch 240hz monitor?
I've never had a powerful computer so now I have one I kind of want to see all the graphics but on the other hand I want the competitive performance. Also I just think 32 will be too damn big.

I’d get a 1440p 165hz and just get a better quality screen with the extra u save from going going 165 over 240.

U will not be able to tell the difference in 165 and 240

Still using an i9 9900K and a 2080 ti. Going on like a 4 year old CPU. Getting pretty dated.

I have the same CPU and a 2080 super, still going strong but i only use 1440p. Will get the 4080 when it comes out and most likely a 4k gaming monitor.

RX 7000 rumors heating up

Went to Microcenter today and got the CPU, case, and motherboard. I should've bought RAM while I was there.
Also, it turns out the CPU cooler I chose blocks one of the PCIE slots. So I ordered an AIO off from Amazon.


Probably going to try to go back to Microcenter tomorrow morning and get the ram.

What cooler did you get that blocked the PCIE?

What cooler did you get that blocked the PCIE?

Noctua NH-D15

90 degree it? Strange problem, i'm looking at your mobo and cooler now. It should not block any PCIE slots.
