The only thing I'm afraid of is the TUF arriving before the FTW and not being able to hold myself. Well... I guess I will exercise my right of just trying both and returning the one I like the less.... Thanks!

Corsair RM850i

With an 850 w Corsair PSU and a 9700k... will I be able to use that 450w BIOS?

After waiting a month for a card, you know what? i don't mind the price difference between both. Where I live, the EVGA one costs 80 bucks more, but now that the wait is almost over, I don't want to go cheap, I want whatever is going to give me the best performance and last longer. So, I had to buy both in two different sellers but, because of destiny and things like that, they seem to be going to arrive within the same time frame. If you had to choose, price aside at this point, which one would you stick with?

My screen is 60hz so I can't tell if I go higher but judging by the visual performance I'd say I don't get much past 100 because sometimes, when I'm in the waiting map or on the plane or between buildings, I see fps drops here and there. It's all over the place. However, my screen is ultrawide, which means, more pixels to render and I also have vsync on. I downgraded the settings though, aa, effects, shadows and post processing are set to very low, the rest at ultra and I did see improvement without losing much quality. I might try adaptative Sync later and see if I see some improvement

I hope so I might sleep on it a bit and see how they do. I'm not that hardcore of a player but the little time I have left for playing, I want it to be as smooth as possible. Yesterday, I tried lowering some settings like shadows, AA and PS and I saw a major performance boost, and the game still looks awesome, and I didn't have to turn VSYNC off... I hate screen tearing, it's one of the worst things I can experience in gaming, that and 30 fps... god, I get sick just thinking about it....

Thanks for your opinion

Well, some people run it better than others and this upgrade might be the last one I perform on this system, getting a whole new one being the most likely next one once all this processor issues we've been dealing with this past days get figured out.... So I think, a 150 euro upgrade for a year of better-ish experience could be worth it....

This. Most people would state there shouldn't be any noticeable change and then, you come across posts like this and start having hope again.... Did you have to just select XMP profile and you were good to go?

A couple of weeks ago, I tried installing 2400 Mhz Corsair Dominator Platinum, but my computer didn't like them at all: Just with the XMP profile enabled, no CPU Overclock, it would not work as intended and I suffered from BSODs just the moment I went into Windows. So finally, I returned them. After more thorough research, it seems like I might have better chance with 2133Mhz memory. I was thinking maybe these ripjaws: https://www.amazon.es/gp/product/B00COGLFNE - even though I would be trading CAS10 memory for CAS12 Another option might be taking 2 4x2 kits, because they are CAS9, but I don't know if having 4 modules installed instead of two would be worth it. So, thoughts? Which model would you recommend?

Which model of monitor is your gsync one? Man, are they expensive... Specially since I like 24+ inch ones...

Guess I'll have to bite the bullet and either: 1: Spend lots of money and get a gsync monitor 2: Turn vsync off and call it quits, get used to some screen tearing.....

Vsync on or off?

Seemed like the way to go, plus the monitor, it was what I could afford at the time: I'm just checking now and g-sync monitors cost double what mine costs..... my god.... so, other solution would be to get used to play without vsync? Do most people play with screen tearing?

I got the 1070Ti for 486 eur, like 50 less than normal price...
