I wanna upgrade... something on my PC but I don't know which is better.
On one side I can take a better monitor like BENQ GW2765HT. (I have a -$120 discount until the 26th)
I already have a decent one the ASUS PA246Q, and a crappy dell TN display. Should I get another one I would probably just retire the dell and only keep the 2 calibrated IPS monitors.
I use a single AMD 7970, which is quite sufficient for my current 1920x1200 monitor. I think it should hold up quite well considering I don't even play that much demanding games, although GTAV will be a must.
I am quite sensitive to color accuracy (hence the PA246Q), but I think mostly because a few years back nobody gave a shit about it and most displays sucked balls(like my Dell TN). Now days even consumer/gaming TN displays sometimes do a good job.
Another problem with this is how my eyesight is at an uncomfortable slightly near-sighted such that I don't usually wear glasses, and I can barely focus (perfectly) for the distance I view my current 24' monitor at. I'm afraid that if I get a bigger monitor, I would be sitting further away and I won't be able to focus very well without wearing my glasses.
On the other hand I can get a pair of Audioengine 5+ speaker monitors.
Right now I have some crappy $70 logitech surround speakers set. I don't even use it that often because the quality is really just mediocre, especially compared to my AKG Q701 connected to the ASUS Xonar Essence STX amp card.
Unlike the display department, although I own a somewhat audiophile set-up, for whatever reason I am not very sensitive to sound quality. Sure the 701 sounds great but I don't have a huge problem with less expensive things like a pair of $50 headphones connected to on-board audio.
I do all kinds of things on my PC, but not professionally in any way.
Gaming obviously, but not that much, probably a few hours a day at most. Unless there's a really addictive new game that just came out.
Watching videos movies anime and such. Right now due to the crappy quality of my speakers I watch them with headphones. I don't have an urgent need to share with someone else, but that could change in a few months when my GF moves in.
Reading things, yes sometimes I am interested in reading text for hours, although somewhat rare .
Doing design stuff, like modding games doing 3D modeling and texturing.
