I will be playing all types of games, including cs go and bf4, but I will also be playing games like witcher 3, fallout 4, tomb raider and such. I am pretty torn between both of them

I am buying a Sapphire R9 390 (and overclocking it), so I was wonder If I should get this Acer 1440p monitor that is overclockable to 85hz (Acer 1440p monitor link) or should I get the Asus 1080p 144z monitor? (1080p 144hz monitor link) Thanks for your input guys. Regards, Chris

My bad, forgot to post it.

Hey guys at LTT, have a couple questions for this build. After a couple of revisions, this is my final $1200 build. I plan on keeping some of these parts around for a long while (hence the 750w psu). Feel free to critique any of my part choices, and tell me any revisions I would need to make. Since I am using an r9 390 (and overclocking it) I plan on either using a 1440p 60hz Acer monitor that can overclock up to 85 hz (Click here for 1440p monitor) to jump into 1440p gaming. The 390 can play quite a lot of games at 60 frames on 1440p, and with dx12, the frames should only get higher. Or instead, should I use this 1080p 144hz Asus monitor (Click here for 1080p monitor) to have 1080p but be playing every game at near 100 frame goodness? The price is essentially the same, so no questions there. Here is the build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/CbqJsY Regards, Chris

If you can link me to that video that would be greatly appreciated!

Really? What happened with nvidia and the patch?

I have a couple of questions for all you guys.. Is the AMD issue with fallout 4 running like crap completely fixed? Like if I turned God Rays and tessellation all the way up will my frames be hindered, and will the performance be nearly up to par with the 970 in fallout 4? Its the only thing holding me back from getting an r9 390 over the 970. By the way, which 390 brand should I get, Sapphire or MSI? Thanks all for your replies

Sure, Ill right a review. (might take a week or two because I would like to really get a feel of everything.)

Thanks for all your help guys. By the way, would anyone happen to know if the Dell thermal throttles? I know the Asus does not.

Hey guys, I have been looking for a decent laptop for light - moderate gaming. My budget is 800$ and I have narrowed it down to these two laptops. Dell Inspiron i7559-763BLK - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015PYYDMQ/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B015PYYDMQ&linkCode=as2&tag=hubpages00b7e-20&linkId=QQL3FW6F4IQFYEDR ASUS K501UX - http://www.amazon.com/K501UX-Discrete-Gaming-Laptop-Windows/dp/B0146DD02G/ref=pd_cp_147_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=09R6V26H8SZZFFVM2QJ5 The ASUS has a TN panel, but I am not too worried about that as I will just be looking straight at my screen and therefor not worried about viewing angles. The ASUS is an i7, which means it has hyper threading, and the Dell is an i5 (obviously means no HT) I am not sure if hyperthreading affects games so if someone could shed light on this I would greatly appreciate it. The Dell is a quad core and the Asus is a dual core. The games I am planning on running are Battlefield (series in general), Assassins Creed, (series in general), and Warframe. The Dell laptop has a GTX 960M 4gb, but the ASUS has a 950m 2gb. This might affect framerate/performance in general, and some light on this and maybe an estimated performance difference would be helpful. Both of these laptops have 256gb ssd's preinstalled, which is what I want. The i7 6500u in the ASUS is a low voltage cpu, but I don't care about power usage, merely just performance. My true questions here are: 1) Would the hyperthreading that the i7 has be an advantage or no(for gaming, Photoshop, and general internet browsing)? 2) Which CPU is more powerful? (I am personally thinking the i5 is, not so sure) 3) Does the GPU gap make a big difference? 4) Which is better for the future? (I plan on keeping the laptop for 5+ years) 5) The Dell has a 6M cache, but the ASUS has a 4M cache, does that make a difference in anything? Thanks for your help, please no posting about how a laptop isn't as good price per performance, I am going to college and moving around a lot so I cant build a pc. Thanks again!
