Hi All, I am looking at getting 2 new monitors as my current monitor is getting old and having flickering issues (5ish years). I want: 1440p G sync 144hz Hence looking at these monitors. I was wondering which monitor I should go for, primarily gaming on PC and some with the PS4, I know the main difference is the TN panel vs the IPS panel between these monitors but need advice as to what I would need as there is £100 difference between them. But I have also heard of both of these monitors having a lot of QC issues like dead pixels and light bleed?!? Thank you.

Does it give you any errors when the system boots backup? I have had my PSU voltages 12V 5V and 3.3V go astray before which has caused an instant shutdown. But when that has happened it has been presented to me on start up. Just an idea I am throwing out there

Hi All, I am looking to build a cheap Media PC (Would be running on a 4K screen, not sure that it matters overall as I have a spare 980TI lying around that I could use tbh) or NAS PC for my living room and was wondering if anyone had any ideas for parts I could use to do so? If I am honest I am not sure what I want to do with it exactly I just want to have a play around with i using linux etc. Budget wise I am not sure yet but just want to get an idea of what people think I would need and budget from there really but not expensive ideally. Any help would be appreciated. THANK YOU!

Hi All, I am planning to use my old build as a PC for the living room but don't need it to be a chunky E-ATX, Corsair 750D size machine. Therefore I was wondering if anyone was able to help me get the following specs within the smallest case and mobo (Mini ATX?) I can as overclocking etc is no longer going to be a thing the mobo doesn't require "gaming" features. 5820K Corsair H110i GTX AIO MSI 980TI Gaming Corsair HX1000i (Used to SLI, but pointless to spend money to replace) 250GB SSD I am looking to replace the mobo and the case ONLY ideally, but if cheap options for lets say the cooler are required please let me know, I am looking to spend as little as I can, lets say budget wise max £200 if that is even possible? Sorry to be a pain and thank you in advance to anyone that can help!!

Thank you for the clarification, I think I have an understanding of everything now!

I appreciate you coming across from my other question to help on this one! Are there any reasonably priced Monitors you would recommend with a 1440p Res? Thank you!!

Does this mean the GPU will only be provided 8 PCI-E lanes?

Sorry treat me as dumb, what is the PCH, is that part of the chipset which is used by the sata ports and will be disabled when a M.2 is used?

@AngryBeaver, @5x5 and @Blademaster91 If I used the Samsung Evo 970 would it use PCI-E express lanes? as the 9900k only has 16 and would rather not have the GPU only having 8 to use?

Thank you I will stick with what I have and wait for a while until the prices become more reasonable over time!!

Oh thank you yes it is VERY expensive. I have them at work and liked the speed when I used them is all. But may not be worth it if TLC would work for me.

Okay I will save my money I have a second 24 inch monitor which is vertical for coding and everything else I dump on it already. But what do you meaning by "Gaming in general is pretty pointless" do you mean having 1440p for gaming is pointless?

Very useful information thank you, seems I have lots to think about in regards to the GPU think I am set on the 9900k now though tbh. No problem! Very helpful so I will have a little look around Thank you

You seem to know a bit about monitor having such high end ones yourself, do you have time to help me here at all:

I game mostly if I am honest! Sometimes work but I am a Software Engineer, colours aren't an issue for me in that role. My current monitor is a TN panel just to clarify sorry! Budget wise I am not sure I guess I could go up to £500 but I am not sure if I should bother spending the money or if it would be a waste compared to what I currently have?
