It looks like a good one, the only problem is, that's waaay to big for my desk. Shame. It looks like a nice one.

So, I've been using a relatively old Samsung TV/Monitor that runs at 1920 x 1080 @ 60Hz, which has worked very well for my PC of 2 months now. Problem is, I need to give the monitor back, and I'm almost clueless as to the specifics of my next monitor. I want it to be at least 1080p, but I'm wondering if with a GTX 1070 and a 6600k I'm just to fearful of lower frames on Ultra settings on my games at 1440. That, and I'm wondering if a higher refresh rate would be a good choice for both resolutions as well. Also, $500 I think is a fair budget. Anyone got any suggestions or am I out of luck?

If you can afford the best single GPU, that's what I'd recommend. The reason why I bring it up is that you can buy one 480 for cheap, and then buy a 480 again later for more performance, rather than getting a new one.
-
Fair enough, but it appears that way.
-
And funnily enough, the 480 is comparable to a 980 or a 390x, especially if you overclock it.
-
What? Why would you not take advantage of more power for a lower price than the alternative?

The SteelSeries Rival 100 is great, and it's $40 US. https://steelseries.com/gaming-mice/rival-100 The Logitech G303 has already been recommended, and that's a great one too. http://gaming.logitech.com/en-us/product/gaming-mouse-g303 But, if you can, go to a store and try them out. It doesn't make one bit of difference what we say if you don't like the way it feels, or looks, or handles. If you can't try one out, Razer has a great guide on their website that can try and find the mouse that would best suit you based on your grip, what games you play, and such. You can find it here: http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-mice

You can get an 8GB version of the 480.

Don't ever buy on impulse. Not saying the 1080 is bad, but be sure you want it before you decide.

But, if AMD threw their weight behind it, then that problem would go away, and AMD would have the low end, and Multi-GPU/CF?SLI to themselves. Even with the new high bandwidth SLI, Nvidia would have to respond to that.
-
Which is why if AMD got their Multi-GPU support up, it could compete. Right now, yes, your statement is true.
-
How? The multi-gpu cards would be high end. Still competition, just not the same.
-
Also, considering how Zen actually looks competitive, AMD seems to have pulled their heads out of their butts this time.
-
Now is definitely the time.
-
That I did not know. But, I would think this drop in performance could come with a drop in TDP.
