    Intel Cuts CPU Shipments by 2M, Motherboard Makers May Suffer - Report

    While I prefer Intel's processors, this just means that I am going to recommend people consider AMD instead. The performance difference is not that far off even in a best case for Intel (lower max thread count operations, such as gaming). And for other tasks which are highly parallel or in...

    Will Tariffs Raise U.S. Component and PC Prices? It’s Complicated

    4k 144hz 1ms Response Time G-Sync???

    The closest would be the LG LG 32GK850G which is 1440p, 32", 144hz (OC to 165), g-sync. But not 4k. Also not cheap.
