Thanks for the feedback! I think i'll go with the matching pair of 1440p for now, the resolution is perfectly acceptable and I already know that I like it.

I'm getting into programming and am trying to get my workstation set up. I want two or even three monitors, and I want to be able to tilt one into portrait mode. I have an ASUS PG278QR that I absolutely love for gaming, and I like the idea of my other displays matching my first. This also has...

I have a really wonderful ASUS ROG Swift PG278QR 27" 165 Hz That I purchased for around $500 a couple years ago. I'd love to get a second one, but I was a bit shocked when I went to buy one. Unless I'm missing something, the price is now more than double. Is this due to demand or are all...

He ended with this: Bumped his SSD up to a TB as well, so final budget was $1523 CAD https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/ontograsstown/saved/knQ4dC

Hah, yes my friend is in Canada. He went ahead and made some changes to the build here to reflect that and pressed go. Hopefully it works out but i think it will. Thanks so much for the help!

Awesome! @King Dranzer, does this build need a CPU or GPU cooling unit or aftermarket fans in the case? Also, is the 650w PSU needed or can I go with a 500

I'm helping a friend build a new Gaming PC, he's got a budget of around $1000 USD. I'd love some imput on this build he came up with, linked below. I was thinking an i5-9600K and a RX 5700 might be a big boost for a small increase in price. Any feedback or suggestions are appreciated...

Exactly the advice I was hoping for, thank you for pointing that option out!

Upgrade to i7-8700K or 9700K? I Currently have an i5-4690K, so either will be substantial. I can save $80 bucks or so and put that into a new case or something. Comparing the two it doesn't seem like the 9700K is that much better? I would probably go with an ASUS ROG Strix z390-E MoBo and I...

TLDR: Do z390 motherboards play nice with RAM height and fan-based CPU coolers? I feel like there won't be room for ram under my Noctua if I upgrade to a new mobo/ram setup. Should I just take the water cooling plunge now and get it out of the way? Current System: MOBO: Asus Z97-A CPU: Intel...

Thank you for the excellent feedback. -I ordered a EVGA - 750W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply and will update after I install it. -GPU Temp is right around 70 when gaming in Witcher 3 on max -I don't have another DisplayPort cord, but will try it on the other two slots in...

As for Screen size, you'll adapt to the new size. Just try and have your chair set up well with your eyes looking towards the center of the screen.

What's your budget? What will you be using it for? The viewsonic looks pretty solid, and the XG2401 144hz version for $250 seems like a great deal all-around if you don't require the GSync. But your question is about a monitor that works with Nvidia, so the XG2560 might be more up your alley...

I picked up anASUS ROG Swift PG278QR 27” 2560x1440 1ms 165Hz G-SYNC https://www.amazon.com/PG278QR-2560x1440-G-SYNC-Monitor-DisplayPort/dp/B01N4ENDXR Which definitely looks like it will work well with the 1070ti, but I do see your point about the CPU bottleneck at this point. Gonna need to do...
