    It's not a good quality PSU.

    Tyl3n0L reacted to HKZeroFive in 1060 vs Rx 480   
    The GTX 1060 6GB would be better in the majority of titles. The RX 480 would be better in a few select titles such as DOOM (which is one of the games you are planning to play).

    Tyl3n0L reacted to HKZeroFive in How fast should I get my RAM   
    Why are people saying that faster RAM makes no difference at all? Are you guys simply regurgitating Linus' video on it despite it being wrong in so many aspects?
     
    Here's the bottom line when it comes to RAM for gaming - the biggest benefit from faster RAM is that it will provide higher minimum framerates. In CPU-intensive areas or in situations where the CPU is the bottleneck, this may also translate into higher average framerates.

    Of course, there's a point where the law of diminishing returns eventually applies. 3000MHz is what I'd consider to be the 'sweetspot'. Spending an extra $10 or so on faster RAM won't make a huge impact on your budget.

    Try this and let me know if it helps...

    Tyl3n0L got a reaction from Simon771 in New GPU Recommendations for 4690K   
    If 500$ Canadian is your upper limit, then the 1070 is out of your budget.
     
    1070 start at 530$ minimum. Add taxes and you're around 600$. I would suggest you a 1060 6Gb over an Rx 480 but to be honest that's pretty much personal preference cause both cards are almost neck and neck.

    I personally would opt for the cheaper GPU and get some extra RAM to go with it. The RAM will help in some games especially if you have things going in the background like music, podcasts, live streams etc.
     
    It also leaves you with $100 that you can put towards a second monitor (assuming you want one) or a very, very nice dinner out on the town.

    Tyl3n0L reacted to o0Martin in Why we don't have HDR monitors?   
    There are a couple reasons why you don't find too many HDR monitors yet (But they are coming) the first being that it's a relatively new certification, not new technology as such, but it's a collection of 4 main things; 10bit depth, DCI-P3 colour space, a contrast of 0.05nits - 1000nits If it's a LCD or for OLED it has to be 0.0005nits - 540nits and lastly there has to be software support. 
    Getting all those things to work together without running into issues is very complex, and DP 1.3/4 is also needed for 4k at a certain refresh rate to push 10 bit colour depth (Can't remember what refresh rate right now so wont quote it.)
     
    But there are loads of HDR displays announced, mainly in 4k and 3440x1440 varieties (Although I haven't kept fully up to date recently) but I'm sure more will come at 1440p as well if they haven't been announced already. 
     
    Edit: Also I'm not sure if this is the case because I haven't kept up to date, but I can't imagine that there are too many panels that actually support HDR, I wouldn't be surprised if there is a slight shortage of availability which is delaying things.
