Post-Christmas 2015 Setup

So I didn't get much for christmas, mostly just gift cards, but today I went and bought the LG UC87 Ultra Wide monitor and OH MY GOD is it amazing. I will be buying a new mic tomorrow as well.

Pre-Christmas 2015 Setup

Nothing too fancy here, I'm hoping I'll have enough money after Christmas so I can get a 32" 4k monitor, or an ultra wide. I bought the LG back in may because both of my 24" monitors were getting horribly discolored so I kept the better of the two.

So this is something I'd planned on doing since I built the machine, when I built it I couldn't afford to spend the extra money on the cooler so I ran with the stock cooler for a month, today I bought the Hyper 212 EVO and the installation was well stressful. In recent weeks I'd noticed frame drops in GTA V on high settings with V-sync enabled (the way I've run it on this system since day 1) I'd never had frame drops last more than a second or so until a few weeks ago, I'd be at 30fps for 10 - 2
