    Phyxia got a reaction from pandapap in New FHD monitor (24") for gaming   
    It's not that they don't want to help you, it's just that you're not asking the right question basically. If you want to stick at 24" or even 1080p you should honestly get something like 24" 1080p 240 Hz. If you want to stick at 24", 1440p isnt that much of a gain. If you are sticking to 1080p, then you really shouldn't getting less than 144 Hz. Also 1440p 144hz IPS 24" screens are a rarity. They might not even exist(not sure about this)

    Also everyone is asking your budget. No magical forum poster is going to conjure a screen without knowing your actual need. You need a 20$, 200$, 2000$ screen? Tell us. Instead of people throwing out random screens if you give us a budget we can find a fitting screen. (also audibly laughed when I read that you have a 2080TI and you are looking for a 1080p monitor. That's like buying brand new rims for your Toyota Corolla 1998)

    Phyxia got a reaction from wh1sp3r in Worth upgrading my rig?   
    I don't have a budget per say, it's more of a question should I upgrade or not. Is the performance increase worth the hassle of upgrading? I love tinkering and buying new parts but if the end result isn't that much of a big deal it renders it moot kinda.
     
    For example I had a Asus Radeon 7770 DirectCU and upgraded that to a 1080. That was a fantastic and unreal upgrade, but was expected. I don't expect the same kind of performance jump here, just wanting to get other thoughts if this "jump" is worth the money invested or if I should just wait more?

    Hey hey
     
    Just wondering what peoples opinions are on me upgrading my rig. Worth or not?
     
    As of today I have:
     
    Asus P8Z77-V Motherboard
    Intel 3570k CPU
    Corsair 16 GB DDR3 1600 MHz memory
    EVGA 1080 Classified GPU
    EVGA GQ 650W PSU
    NZXT x62 Kraken CPU-cooler
    NZXT H700i
    NZXT 140 mm Aer fans x3
    Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB SSD x3
     
    What I'm considering is getting a new trio (cpu,mobo and ram). I don't really know which ones to get. Been looking at 8700k, 8086k(for the novelty aswell), and Ryzen. I have no clear must buy, but I'm leaning on the thought of intel again. Currently I'm playing on a 1440p 165hz GSync monitor. Playing games such as WoW, CSGO, PUBG and the occasional GTA:V. The question is, is it worth for me to upgrade my rig? Is my CPU bottlenecking me that much? I haven't overclocked yet and I have a cooler for it but will the extra performance be enough for me not to upgrade?
     
     I've heard alot about as long as you have a 2nd gen CPU and above it's not really that big of a leap, but it's 5 generation improvement(3rd->8th gen). Also it's the forever burning question is it a good time to upgrade? How far long till' the 8790k releases and so on. Thoughts?
