Where are you seeing this for $160? I see it for $180 on Amazon but shipping is another $67 and i'm in the US.

I'm looking for a 1080p IPS monitor as my secondary monitor. It cannot be any wider than 25". It will rarely be used for gaming. Mostly just for browsing and miscellaneous tasks. Low latency not required since it's not for gaming, but higher refresh rate is preferred. My budget is ~$200 each.

Ah yes I forgot to mention my budget is about $2500. The total is $2100 right now, but i'm also guesstimating the protection plan on a lot of these parts will add up close to $2500. I'm planning on buying the majority of these parts from Microcenter.

Hi, i'm planning on buying/building this: PCPartPicker part list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GmWHkT CPU: Intel - Core i7-8700K 3.7GHz 6-Core Processor ($405.98 @ Newegg) CPU Cooler: Corsair - H100i v2 70.7 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler ($94.99 @ Newegg) Motherboard: Gigabyte - Z370 AORUS Gaming 5 (rev. 1.0) ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($151.98 @ Newegg) Memory: Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory ($199.89 @ OutletPC) Storage: Samsung - 960 EVO 250GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive ($127.89 @ OutletPC) Storage: Western Digital - BLACK SERIES 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($116.39 @ Newegg Marketplace) Video Card: MSI - GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11GB GAMING X Video Card ($765.99 @ SuperBiiz) Case: Fractal Design - Meshify C ATX Mid Tower Case ($86.99 @ SuperBiiz) Power Supply: EVGA - SuperNOVA G3 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($83.98 @ Newegg) Operating System: Microsoft - Windows 10 Home OEM 64-bit ($89.89 @ OutletPC) Case Fan: Fractal Design - X2 GP-12 (Black) 52.3 CFM 120mm Fan ($10.89 @ OutletPC) Total: $2134.86 Budget: $2500. Since i'm buying most of these parts in-store from Microcenter I will be buying the protection plan on the main parts (CPU, GPU, etc). I'm guesstimating this will increase my total to around $2500. --------------------------------------------- Usage: Gaming, video editing/rendering, virtual machines, web development Monitors: 1440p 144hz IPS G-Sync (Gaming on high) 1080p 60hz (Browsing/Editing) 1080p 60hz (Other) Features wanted: Overclockability Motherboard with bluetooth Case with above average airflow. Gunning for positive air pressure. 240mm rad+fan in the front intake, 240mm fans top intake, 120mm rear exhaust. Note: The Meshify C is known for being a small case, but I did some calculations on if it's possible to have the rad+fan in the front: 395mm (available space) 55mm radiator + fan (H100i) 290mm (GPU) 345mm total hardware space 50mm remaining So it will be pretty close but it should be ok. If not i'll just put the rad on top anyway. Anyway, before I actually buy anything though I just want some second opinions on the build in case I missed anything

So I did some more research and I think I was able to calculate if it will work: 395mm (available space) 55mm radiator + fan (h100i) 290mm (GPU) 345mm total hardware space 50mm remaining Even if it doesn't work out though i'll just put the rad on top like you originally suggested, then switch the 2 fans to be in the front instead.

Hmm from the looks of it I think I will be able to put the rad+fan in the front. I think i'll go with this setup: 240mm rad+fan in the front intake, 240mm fans top intake, 120mm rear exhaust Sick build btw

Oh wow that sounds intense. Do you have any pictures?

Cool thanks for the info. Can you tell me about your airflow setup? Do you have the fans on the top or bottom of the the radiator? And the other fans how did you set that up in your case? I'm gunning to achieve positive air pressure in the case.

Here is my PCPartpicker: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NqswTH I'm mostly worried about if the 1080ti and h100i will fit if I mount it in the front/top. I watched a review about the inside size of the meshify C being very restrictive (5:04), but i'm not sure sure how to actually calculate if everything will fit.

Thanks for reminding me. I was using the monitor and was like "Damn...I can't even tell the difference between 60hz and 144hz" but I forgot to change the settings. The difference is night and day. Used this, thanks.

Is there anything I should setup or configure after buying the XB270HU? I think I read somewhere before I need to calibrate colors or use a specific cable. I'm really not sure though.

Wow that's it? Thought the newer one would have more important changes, thanks.

Anyone know the difference between the part numbers of the XB270HU? Shows there is the UM.HB0AA.001 and UM.HB0EE.009. Obviously the 009 is supposed to be better, but does anyone have any info? What's different, when it came out, etc?

Thanks for the answers. It appears that it's the best choice to stick with analog headsets then.

That's a very helpful post, but i'm still not sure if that answers my original question. Are you saying that USB headsets are not viable unless it's really expensive? I see you said you have a USB DAC that connects a RCA analog. And those Sennheiser headsets are analog too.
