Hello, I am trying to get 5.1 surround for my new gaming rig. I know very little about speakers, but I believe it would be a great way to truly immerse myself in the games. I would like to get the best quality I can for under $200. Also, as I said before, I am new to surround sound so I would...

Gotcha. Thank you guys for looking this over. I'm going to change the motherboard to an asus and pull the trigger on this. Thanks for the help.

Thank you that was very helpful. I think that is where I am able to save money because before I had an i7. As a note, I do some programming and matab calculations for school. My current setup is a lenovo y500 with a 2.2ghz i7. I'm assuming the 6600k will be a huge boost and I shouldnt...

Out of curiosity, when should I pick an i5 over and i7 or vise versa?

Hello, I have posted on here before asking for some help picking out parts for a ~2k gaming desktop. However, my mind kept changing (I want to keep it as low as possible without sacrificing performance) and it ended up not working out so well. Now, I believe I know exactly what I am looking...

I did some research last night and realized that a tv is not what I want. I was looking at 32" monitors and it seemed like samsung had some nice ones but Idk if I'm going in the wrong direction. Any advice?

Perhaps I'm just niave, buy 12ms is less than the time to blink how is it that noticeable to justify spending 2-3x more for a monitor?

Because I can get a 40"+ tv for $400-$500 a monitor at 32" 4k is double that

Not in original budget because I was going to spread the purchase out. And I have been looking at the vizio d series 40"

If I add another $600 gpu then I'll be $600 over budget because the tv was similar price. That might have to be an upgrade down the road Also, i7600k vs i76700 what should I expect I know the difference is ocing but how much does that help?

I forgot to mention that I changed my mind from a 3 monitor display to one large 4k display. Sorry for the confusion.

Okay, that makes sense. Also I found a 4k tv with input lag 12ms which seems pretty good I know a monitor is 1-5ms but 12 doesn't seem that bad.

Why does this need an 850w psu? Even with 1080 sli it's a sub 600w system

Would a 40" tv work as a monitor?

After all of the pascal news I am thinking I want to use a 4k tv for my monitor. I was looking at the vizio d series for this. Will a gtx 1070 be enough for this? Everything I have seen points toward yes.
