Best 1440p/60 (or more)HZ monitior for cheap?
VestiaryFlea867 replied to VestiaryFlea867's topic in Displays
This was my other option in mind, but it is a tad expensive. I might get it though. Maybe if COVID dies down enough that prices are sane again. -
Best 1440p/60 (or more)HZ monitior for cheap?
VestiaryFlea867 replied to VestiaryFlea867's topic in Displays
I personally do not play very many games (FPS's?) that require a high refresh rate, and I care more about how it looks. Does the faster refresh still make games that are not competitive look better (smoother?) ? (not sure if that made sense) Used is an option, but I would like new better. (the display is a gift, the people buying it for me want to purchase new and online) Or would it be better to save up an extra $200 and get a well-reviewed 1440 monitor? -
It's in between regular and abnormal (in my entirely incorrect opinion). For me my RAM usage varies from half a gig to 3GBs. Maybe some optimizing is necessary, but nothing bad.
-
I'm looking for a good 1440p monitor for around $200-350USD that has the "regular" specs requested in a monitor (60 or more HZ response, low response time). Are the monitors in this price bracket even worth it? I was thinking of the Acer V277U at is "cheap" and has good specs (I couldn't find any reviews though ). Any recommendations? Edit: Forgot to add, this will be paired with either a 2070 or 2070 Super, will be used for gaming and video editing (color isn't a priority since i'm not a professional)
-
Is 10% worth $100 over a regular 2070?
-
I *would* but this is an "emergency" PC. I as thinking to buy the GPU last and put in my own money and use a used GPU or one I already have in the meantime.
-
The AMD cards are a very good value, but I would like RTX, and little driver issues. (i'm a little of an Nvidia fanboy too) Aren't 2070's also $400? (at least at my area). I'd rather get a 2070. BTW I already had parts picked out.
-
I'll probably get RTX Minecraft, Starfield/TESVI (when they finally come out), whatever the new Battlefield will be, ultra-modded Bethesda games (that's what inspired me to get a PC, my Xbox kept crashing playing no-mod Fallout 4), and other assorted games. I would like the GPU to focus on open-world games, with "super-duper" settings with RTX on. In non-competitive titles, FPS is less of a priority over things looking good, but it can't be less than 30-50FPS. The card must also be better than the new Xbox. What is the performance between the 2070 and 2070S?
-
No, I will probably buy the monitor myself. Preferably it should be under $300. I would wait, but i'm operating off of a Core 2 Quad right now.
-
For an under $1500 build, which one should I get? It will be paired with a 3700X. I don't want to utilize the full $1500, since the PC will be a gift to me (i do not want to waste other people's money). The PC will be used for "heavy" gaming, video and photo editing, and music creation. The resolution I wanted to game at is 1080 or 1440 at 60FPS. I originally wanted the 2070S for the performance, but I had second thoughts about the ~500 price tag (AMD is a good value, but I would like ray tracing). Could a monitor also be recommended for the GPU that is best?

VestiaryFlea867 replied to VestiaryFlea867's topic in New Builds and Planning
It is a https://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=580&bno=4&tb=13&area=en, maybe a year old. -

Total: $991.94 I've probably posted about making a new PC 10 times before, but this may be my final post. For those wondering, I already have a 500 watt modular Silverstone, I forgot what model. Are these good components to "upgrade"?

Good mITX B450 board?
VestiaryFlea867 replied to VestiaryFlea867's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
I meant in general for the mITX boards, is X570 better? Also, I was asking if I should suck up the size of the MAX for more features. Great info though, thanks. -
Good mITX B450 board?
VestiaryFlea867 replied to VestiaryFlea867's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
How do the features compare to the Tomahawk MAX? Are the VRMs good enough for a decent overclock, and is the maximum ram speeds being 3466 a limitation? I also saw a Gigabyte board for the same price, is this any good? For a mITX Ryzen 3000 system, am I better off saving for a X570 mITX or using the MAX?
