The budget is around 730$, and I'll only change the CPU (I have a hyper evo 212 from my previous system, so hopefully it will fit the new one), MB, RAM and the SSD is optional(as in it can be removed in favor of a 7700k for example). The location is Bulgaria, so while your recommendation fits...

Thanks for the recommendations. Sadly the ram you recommended is 230$ over here, and the mb is 170$ (and I won't use SLI, or even do extreme OC) which goes over my budget. I'll try to find a reasonably priced 3000+ ram however, if it is important.

Hi! I'll be upgrading my brother's pc, and I'd be happy to hear any recommendations/advice about the components I chose. The current system has an old phenom 1090T, I plan to get the following things: CPU: R5 1600 - 259$ MB: Asrock AB350 PRO4 - 116$ SSD: Samsung 250GB 960 evo, MZ-V6E250BW -...

Hi! I am looking to buy a smartphone for around ~200$, what I found at the moment is xiaomi redmi note 4x(it's around 200$ in my country). I am unsure whether the sd 625 variant is better or the helio x20 (watched/read a lot of videos/articles on this and I am still unsure what to get, sd 625...

Hi! Since a recent win10 update(not sure how recent), where it updated my gpu drivers too for some reason, all the older games that run in fullscreen periodically freeze with GPU usage spiking to 100% when the freezes happen. Newer games do not have this issue. By old games I mean 10-20 years...

The ultrasharp dell series have one of the best colors as a whole imo - if you can afford it - go for it (plus it's flicker-free if you have issues with PWM). The only thing that may not be as desirable is the 8ms response time, but I guess it matters mostly if you play fps. Here's a good review...

You could also check the xl2411z - should be a lot cheaper than the xl2430t and is still 144hz. "the cheapest one here in peru costs nearly 1100 usd" - what's your budget? Are monitors in your country overpriced - maybe consider ordering from somewhere else?

First of all is there a specific reason you're getting a dell xps 8700 and a gtx 745? Usually you can build a better system for the money(amzon price at least). From what I see you're willing to spend around 150$ on a monitor - correct me if I am wrong. Assuming 150$ is the limit here's another...

There may be a deal somewhere - in my country at least the Asus and the BenQ are at equal pricing, though I still think a single monitor would be better(either an UHD or QHD, or maybe even a ultra wide one - there are a couple of those at 500$). This may come in handy if you dislike PWM - list

I've been looking for a new monitor and I've narrowed it down to these two, btw the 29UM67-P is 50$ more expensive where I live btw. I'll be using the monitor for gaming, movies, programming etc. I am just not sure whether the 144Hz is worth over a higher resolution, IPS, a bigger screen and...

I was thinking about that too until I read that it generally has issues with some M.2 drives, but honestly I seem to find people have had issues with each of these boards.
