^ Best Answer, I can stand behind the Cryorig H5 cooler being excellent ( if it fits in your case ) haha. but they also make the H7 which I believe is a little shorter and still a decent cooler.

I am currently using the ASUS dual RX 580 8GB w/ freesync monitor and its awesome for 1080p/1440p gaming. If you can save a bit more get the 8GB version it will be worth it if you plan on using for 1440p/4k.

I have a Cryorig h5 ultimate and a Ryzen 1600, coming from the stock cooler I noticed a solid 8-10 degree difference while under load or overclocked. My CPU was a lot more stable while overclocking in that 3.8-4.0Ghz range. I mainly use the computer for gaming so I just keep it stock unless playing a very demanding title that would benefit from an overclock. Hope this helps.

Awesome thanks ill take a look there. Out of curiosity what monitor(s) do you use?

Thanks again for the response. its much appreciated. I was thinking of getting just a pen/pad from Wacomb to use on her desktop or laptop if needed in the future. Iv seen those for less that 200.00$.

I have the MG248Q, I think its the newer version of the monitor OP is talking about and I love it. OP If you don't notice the difference just using the desktop then something is not setup correctly... also in games if your have V-Sync on it will usually limit your frame rate down to 60FPS meaning you will NOT see any major diff apart from the response time so check everything out and let us know. Now going from 144 ---> 240hz that's a debate on what is "worth" it or not, If your gaming especially esports titles CSGO, PUBG, LEAUGE etc seeing 144 frames per second apposed to 60 gives you a huge advantage at higher levels I cant even play games without a high refresh rate monitor anymore. I also have an RX 580 so I can take advantage of the freesync features of the monitor. Good Luck!

Appreciate the feedback. We have looked at a few of those tablets but for what they do I would rather start with a solid PC / Monitor(s) setup to have a good home base to work off of and like I said before she does enjoy gaming as well so the computer wont be wasted haha. Sorry if I sound uneducated on the matter but wouldn't editing or creating a photo on a 4k monitor over a 1440p or 1080p monitor end up looking better once finished compared to the lower resolution screens? Especially if you work was to be blown up or printed on a larger scale? Because if not a 1440p IPS screen is much more affordable than any 4K screen and I would rather put that money into the PC build. Thanks for your time. -TZ

I have the ASUS MG248Q 144hz 1ms TN monitor and for competitive games (I play a lot of CSGO and PUBG) it is great but I play both at low settings at 1080p with a RX580 8GB and I don't have an issue with how "good" the game looks. If I was playing racing games a lot or RPG single player games I would rather have the clarity of the higher resolution screen. If your truly trying to be competitive most professional players play at 1080p or even lower to maximize performance. I'm sure coming from a 1440p IPS panel the games may look washed out to you at 1080p but you have to make the choice of going for pure performance or how "enjoyable" your gaming experience is. The difference your going to see will probably be minimal switching from your current monitor to another 1440p 120-140hz monitor.. If your going for pure performance with that graphics card get the 240hz 1080p 1ms monitor and I'm sure you will enjoy it but don't expect it to look better than what you have.

Hey all, My girlfriend has recently gotten into the profession of graphic design and I would like to build her a computer and get her a nice new monitor to help her along. I have a good enough knowledge to build her a PC that can handle doing this kind of work but when it comes to a proper monitor I start to get lost as my PC's are usually used for gaming... which is more important sRGB, Adobe RGB, any other features I should be looking at? should it be 4K or is 1440p even acceptable? Any photo/video editors or designers on here with experience that could provide some insight on this would be much appreciated. I would like to stay around $600-1000.00 tax included for the monitor unless something above that would vastly enhance her work but seeing as she is just getting into it I don't see a purpose yet blowing 2000.00$+ on some insane monitor. Ideally she would like to have a 27-32" screen, I am not apposed to an ultra wide setup as long as it meets the requirements of an editor. Apart from her work she will be using the monitor for some gaming and every day use so I would like it to have a 60hz refresh rate and any freesync / gsync would be a massive bonus but not needed by any means. Any help or suggestions much appreciated. Thanks for your time. TZ

Really like the mouse pad and headset both look awesome! -Thomas
