I already have a nice system, but I decided it to pass it on to one of the kids so we will have 3 nice rigs.
We currently run Predator X34's, but I am considering passing mine on and doing something else. I just don't know what?
I do mostly desktop apps. Spreadsheets, business related stuff, PDF's, Internet, CAD, editing, 3D printing, CAM, Vinyl cutting, etc. but I also want a very capable gaming system.
This is the build I am doing and everything is ordered. The only thing left to decide on is displays.
I9-9900K
Thermaltake Core P3 Tempered Glass Snow Case
GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 2080 Ti GAMING OC 11G
CORSAIR Vengeance RGB PRO 32GB (4x8GB) DDR4 3200MHz C16 LED Memory - White
ASUS Prime Z390-A
Windows 10 Pro
SAMSUNG 970 EVO M.2 2280 1TB
CORSAIR RM750x White P/S
CORSAIR Hydro Series, H115i RGB PLATINUM Cooler
CORSAIR - M65 RGB Elite Wired Optical Gaming Mouse - White
CORSAIR - Gaming K70 RGB MK.2 SE
MM800 RGB POLARIS Gaming Mouse Pad
I just have no idea which way to go. I feel like multi-monitor might be better for productivity, but at the same time the ultrawide screens are probably nicer for gaming?
The whole proprietary Gsync thing really kills the options too (if I should even limit to these options).
Some considerations are a bigger higher resolution single ultrawide like the Acer CZ380CQK 37.5" WQHD+ 75Hz, but it does not have Gsync and it is a bit slower than the X34.
Another consideration is a triple 27" 165hz 1440 gysnc setup. This would work the system and actually use it's power and give multiple monitors for productivity and speed for gaming. It would however have the smaller width center screen than my 34 now, but faster if the system can keep up. This is of no concern for anything but games which I currently cannot even do because of time constraints, but I want to plan for having that time!
Another consideration is something in the 4k range of things, but they all start getting slow (60hz). The fast one is too small to limit to one screen and the larger ones are slow. In the past 60hz has never bothered me because I never have the time to game that I would like to. However, I need to hope that can change some day
I could also do three 32" 1440's (slower, but nice and big).
Also, a larger 4k screen in the center and two 27" on the sides or something could be done.
I could even do three 4k monitors, which would likely be very nice for most of what I do, but might get slow on games if they will even support three 4k screens.
Anyway, I am all over the place and cannot decide what would be best. I know the pixel load gets high on some of these hi res triple setups, but why else do I need this computer build anyway if I am not going to tax it a little. My i7 and a 1080ti runs my x34 just fine really.
So, I am just looking for some discussion on the best setup for me. I am not really worried about money within reason. I use my computer a lot, so I don't mind putting money in it.
Desk space is not an issue either. I just ordered a big sturdy 72x30 Benchpro Kennedy workbench for my new desk.
I am just opening up some discussion while I continue researching also. I already spent a ton of time looking and figure I would see what some other people think.
Thanks!
