Thanks for the input guys! Of course this wouldn't be a practical move. I've always wanted to do a custom water loop build. But always wanted to embark on that journey with top of the line components at that time. Given the current market, there is no way I am willing to over pay by double or triple the cost of a 3090 and a 5800x to pair with it. In theory to "future" proof the PC some. My current set up is working just fine for what I'm doing with it. A 1700x and the 2070 super. From what I put together for just a GPU loop right now would be a bit over $500, which isn't terrible. Thanks @HairlessMonkeyBoy for the recommendations on the components you had used. Going all EK would have been a solid +$200.

Hey everyone, got a question was hoping the community can help me out with. I have a founders edition 2070super, I got prior to the gpu hell we are going through. It's looking more and more like I won't be upgrading to a 3070 or 3080 like I wanted with absolutely zero chance of getting one at or near msrp. So I'm thinking of going another route and getting a water block and cooling system for the 2070Super. Been doing some mild mining on it because well why not? So my question is: does that seem like a not to crazy idea with the current market? I'd get better Temps and less fan noise when gaming. More than likely wouldn't get rid of the card once or if the 30 series pops into my life? Let me know your thoughts? Or what you'd recommend if I did go this route. I like the EK products, seem very well designed. Thank for any help.

thank you! Check my insta @ducdoc848 for more!

I was wanting to get the pikes peak too! They are amazing bikes! Literally all in one bike!

Thanks! They make the G7 in 27" I agree 32 is huge for a monitor, personally

https://www.thefpsreview.com/2020/10/12/class-action-lawsuit-brewing-for-samsung-g7-monitors-g-sync-flickering/ Came across this, wonder if this will be a thing?

I have had my eyes on thst monitor as well! The price to performance seems almost too good to be true.

Oh I've seen the reviews. I appreciate you for adding the fourm topic! I was looking for something like that with real world user's!

Yeah man that's the hard part though. I like to get a really good grasp on the product. All the pros and cons. See if hardware unboxed video, or any other monitor reviewers put their two cents on. See a true indepth analysis ya know? Would be kinda hard to pull the trigger on something even at a discount we are talking $600+ I'd be droppin. I wanna make sure if fits what I need. I guess maybe having a few picked out now that I've "approved " for my needs and see if those go on sale? Then I'll already know about them not just oh look a 1440p 27" $200 off, shot in the dark? Thanks again man really!

I am indeed a US citizen. Black Friday seems to be hit or miss with merchant stock, but not a bad idea to wait and see what deals are kicking around at that time! Thanks!

Alright y'all I'm wanting to make an upgrade from my current 1080p monitor which is the MSI G27C2 144hz 1ms response, really like the monitor thus far. Have had it about 2 years. it was purchased second hand, don't judge me. I upgraded my GPU to a 2070 super about half a year ago, which it slays anything in its path at 1080p. Unless we are talking minectaft, then it gets brought to its knees with rtx on. Ha. Well I was going to do some brand loyalty and pick up the 1440p variant of the MSI monitor I am rocking now, but after seeing good reviews on the G7 I am intrigued. Do any of you out there have one? Thoughts? Impressions? Recommendations? As always you all here at thr LTT forum rock!

So I am currently running a msi 27" 1080p monitor and I recently upgraded my GPU to a 2070FE my buddy sold me. From a rx580, which did a good job at everything I did with it. I want to upgrade my monitor next to take advantage of the new GPU horsepower in the 2070, I figured 1440p monitor would be a nice improvement. I really like the wide curved screen of the current msi monitor I'm using, as well as the high refresh rate at 120hz. Trying to budget myself to $500+/- some for this upgrade, mainly play fps shooters but also stuff like resident evil which is detailed oriented. Want to keep it a VA panel or IPS but the later is a bit more expensive than my budget. I've done the whole pc parts picker search and currently seems like everything is $100 more than normal. I like the MSI Optix MAG321CQR 31.5" 2560x1440 144 Hz Monitor - currently $448, was $378 not long ago Or the LG 32GK650F-B 32.0" 2560x1440 144 Hz Monitor - current price $399, when it had sales for $299 not long ago. So idk if anyone has a good recommendation please pass it along. Thanks

Sounds like a unanimous decision to hold up. If anything when zen 3 does come out maybe the 3000 series chips will have a discount as amd has done in the past when the new new is launched. Thanks

The only thing with that is I would need a mobo upgrade as the x370 from what I have read won't have support for the 4000 series cpu's. My thought process was to get a good 30% boost in performance with a single point upgrade and ride that for a little while??
