Hi, So I found this the other day, it's 43" 4K. The price is reduced because of a maximum of 60Hz. So Fairly decent features/size for around $150 USD. It has a LED panel, apparently made by the same manufacterer used by Samsung, Dell, and HP. And it's a smart TV, so can still perform basic functions while the tower is powered down. Given the fact that I'm currently rocking with the Vega 11 graphics powerhouse, I'd love to hear opinions as to why it'd be a better idea to buy a dedicated 4K monitor. I'm not an editor in fact I'm half blind and wear glasses to correct short sightedness, So in the opinion of the masses is this a use case suited to a budget solution such as this? What would I be really missing out on? P.S Audio is handled via an external amp.

Hi Guys, So a friend of mine recently used the above. (possibly the whole 1g) And ended up with a CPU short after a few months, has anyone else come across similar issues? And if so what did you do to prevent it?

Hi, So nearly there, just one last opinion I'd like to get. Which is the better monitor.... 2K @ 75hz or 1080 @144hz (freesync)? Having trouble finding the: AOC Q3279VWFD8 31.5" 2560x1440 75 Hz Monitor But: https://www.umart.com.au/Viewsonic-27in-FHD-144Hz-FreeSync-Gaming-Monitor--VX2758-P-MHD_51788G.html Costs a little more and smaller size but is 144Hz worth that sacrifice? or in other words I know the 1660 can handle more than 144fps at 1080p in most games .... and @ 2K I'd be lucky to do 60-70fps so it's more about 1k vs 2k

Hi, Yeah thanks for your input, actually seems pretty good, and yeah I was curious about the 4K ... thought of it more as a future proof thing but you are probably right current price probably better thing to spend the money on... the only thing that worries me is part picker complains: "Warning!Some AMD B450 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Matisse CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions." I'm building this myself so don't have a AM4 "backup cpu" Is this a big problem or a worst case myth?

Hi All, So been doing my research and building to a budget of $1500 AUD. I've attached a screen shot of my planned build at this price point, however would love to get some input. Can I do better?

Hi Guys, Like you I run my own dedicated mail server, for @luxelite.com.au I signed up for your forums with my primary address and found that your emails where getting some RBL action. Not sure if you are aware, I switched to google which seems to accept your emails so not sure no big of a problem it is, but thought you might like to know.
