  1. And just a normal ultrawide? Or are it not worth it?
  2. Sorry it is the Benq XL2730Z 27” 2560x1440p Freesync 1ms Response 144HZ TN pannel. http://m.benq.co.in/product/monitor/xl2730z/features/
  3. Hi All, I really need some advice on a monitor. My current rig specs are: corsair 460x 6 x Corsair SP 120mm RGB LED fans 750W Seasonic KM3 AMD Ryzen R5 1600 clocked at 3.8GHz Asrock Killer SLI X370 2x 8GB DDR4 corsair vengance XLP @ 2400MHz GTX 1080 Gigabyte G1 gaming 1TB seagate Barracuda HDD Toshiba 512 GB NVmE Drive 256GB Samsung SSD. I have recebtly picked up a GTX 1080 for a very good price. i used to have an Gigabyte RX 580 4GB card and got a benq xl2730z monitor. I got the gtx 1080 due to it being much cheeper than the vega 56 card. I also got tired of waiting for AMD to give a GPU that won’t cost a arm and a leg and to take the monitor to it’s full potential. I play a variaty of games from dota, CSGO, fortnite and all the way to any AAA game. Like assassins creed far cry. My delima: I do not have enough experience with the different variaty of monitors. The Benq was my first decent gaming monitor. Now comes he big question: 1. Should I keep the Benq and game on it. 2. Should I get a Gsync variant. 3. Get an ultra-wide. 4. Ditch 1440p and go back to 1080p? I am in south africa and even if importing was a option due to taxes and import duties a monitor will cost 1.5-2 x more tyan in the states. my current budget is around R7000-R9000. The exchange rate is on average now R14.50 : $1.00 The websites I need to choose from are below: https://www.evetech.co.za/components/monitor-87.aspx https://www.rebeltech.co.za/84-monitors https://www.wootware.co.za/computer-hardware/lcds-monitors https://m.takealot.com/#!results?sort=BestSelling%20Descending&qsearch=&filter=Category:10132&filter=Available:true&filter=Type:13 Thank you for your time and input to assist a noob!.
  4. No is South Africa it is CA(SA), Charted Accountant of South Africa
  5. You see in South Africa we have a 3 year degree and then 1 year honours and 3 year articles at an audit firm which include 2 board exams you need to pass to become a CA(SA) ( charted accountant). After that you can go coperate or anything. At our firm we do audit, Advisory and taxation so your exposure is very broad. But in order to become CA you need to complete that cycle and I am now have way with my articles and one board exam away!
  6. What would you suggest then especially tunning wise?
  7. Yes I travel around a lot, all out work is outside of office, but I will sacrefice portability for a power!!!
  8. That helps a lot! Also rhe i7 7700hq is it worth the money over the i5 7300hq?
  9. I will have to buy it out of my own pocket and yes the work will let me use my own. I just have to load the firms software on it!
  10. But would you go for the hq or U processor? Well you see my budget and maximum I can spend is $799 but lessor is alway best. And I do not want to go overkill or something.
  11. I was supplied by my firm with an AMD A10-5750M laptop. My issue is when running excel and our auditing programs like caseware the laptop is extremely slow and sometimes freezes. Now my question is what processor should one opted for that would work faster and without killing the bank to much? I am considering the 7th gen laptops and leaning to the i5-7300hq, but will it work better or is it even overkill and should one go for the u processors?
