This one seems pretty promising then. Good spec, great size and resolution, only downside is the lower HDR. https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/predator-series/predatorx38

3d modeling for me is starting out as a beginner, just learning as i go kind of thing. So primarily its for gaming right now

So the G9 was originally my go too, but it seems there are alot of issues with it and its been near impossible to find. So I'm a little worried it had design flaws.

Getting close to finishing my first build in years and i went crazy with the budget. Last thing left is a monitor and i cant for the life of me decide. For gaming and for 3d graphics design. You cant get a 4k curved with high refresh for gaming so I'm left making a tough decision. So, do i go QHD+ Curved Or do i go no curve and stick with 4k? One favourite is ROG Swift PG35VQ Ultra-Wide Another isnt out yet but looks wider, just lower refresh and lower HDR Acer Predator X38 (Launching for Canada in November) So if i want the absolute best gaming experience, and my budget is pretty flexible. What should i prioritise? 4k, or curved. At a total loss here, months of research and still no solution.

ok so one more scenario i didnt consider. Looking at video on youtube shows that this is the best and cooler method. Push/Pull on the front rads. That would pull the cold air in, cool the rads, the inside fans would then pull the heat off the rads and move it out the back. the air on the tip would help there too. thoughts?

So what if i eliminate the top rad and just use 3 fans? The front will still have the 2 480 rads with 8 fans pulling in. Will a third rad actually help or is it over kill? The case can hold 2 systems. So its possible the top would be for a rad for the mini second system.

Not sure if the glass could be removed but not sure if id want to. It will just expose the dust cover and look pretty bad. There is also a pretty decent gap between the glass and the frame.

The Obsidian 1000d does not have a bottom fan space. The PSU and hard drive enclosure takes up the space unfortunately. Just 2 on the upper back

Hi Everyone, long time watching new time..forumer?! I am building a whole new rig and its my first time using water cooling. I asked Reddit and got some advice but i need something more concrete. Use for start with high end gaming but i plan on learning 3d animation and design so rendering times will be important, so constant cooling. Here is the end build, once parts are in stock, not including water cooling as thats the advice i need: Corsair Obsidian 1000d AMD Ryzen 5950x (Waiting to order as it launches Nov 5th) (This will have a water block) ROG Crosshair VIII Hero (Wi-Fi) 64gb Corsair Vengeance Pro 3200mhz (2x 32gb) 1TB Samsung 980 Pro x2 6TB Seagate Baracuda x2 EVGA FTW Ultra 3080 (Water block to be added later as i cant find one for that card yet) ________ So, onto the questions. In the Corsair 1000d i have plenty of room so heres the plan: Front: 8x 120mm fans pulling in, then 2x 480 rads attached to those, Hydro X XR7. Option to add second layer of fans. A lot of 1000d builds I've seen have 2 layers. Should i or shouldn't I? Looking for cool and quiet for long steady use. Top 3 x 140mm fans pulling in, then a 360mm rad ontop, Hydro X XR7, with another 3 fans on the other side if thats a good move or not Rear 2x 140mm expelling out the back, no rad. So that's: 2 Corsair 480mm XR7 rads at the front with 8 or 16 fans 120mm 1 Corsair 360mm XR7 rad on top with 3 or 6 fans 140mm 2 140mm or 120mm at the rear. So if i have 11 to 22 fans drawing in and only 2 expelling, am i causing issues? I like the look of the double fan setup but am i going OT? Front and top Pull and rear push? Any advice would be fantastic . Thank you everyone Google Search: Top fans no rad, front with rads with single layer of fans for example. Google again: Full setup, 3 rads, double layer fans on all 3

I wish, im also going to be in an apartment with no access to tools.

This would be a dream..but man that price hurts. https://www.lian-li.com/dk-05/

For cases, i used to love Thermaltake, i was looking at the Level 20 as i love the modular design and it has room for a tonne of cooling and drives. I have no problem with a super tower, i just want more space for the bigger graphics cards etc so i wont have future issues. I have looked at the Corsair ones and Lian Li too. They both have some nice ones. I want to go super tower so i know i wont have to limit the stuff i buy based on space.

I think the most difficult part is deciding on brands. It seems Intel has the best clock speeds, better for gaming, but AMD has the most cores which is better for 3d rendering. Also, i always used to pick ASUS MBs as a preference and i love the design of them. But on reddit i was informed that some brands works better with certain processor brands. I want to make sure i have room to expand RAM, maybe start with 32gb or 64 and have the ability to go into the 100s if i get big into 3d design. I'll certainly look at AIOs, never tried them before but might be worth looking at.

Yeah i wasn't going to wait then i saw that its likely going to be around September, wont have the funds still late July so it isn't much more of a wait, havent had a PC for years after my crappy laptop died so whats another month. As for the desk situation, my new place as a decent den so its more of picking a nice big desk anyway regardless of if i go for 1 or 3 monitors. just hard to find the best options. i like the idea of super wide screen gaming just so you dont have the boarder. I guess i could even do one ultra wide for gaming and a second for other stuff, like for 3d i would use the main screen for modeling and keep the second screen for materials or something else etc.

Budget (including currency): CDN and no real budget Country: Canada, Ontario Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: A lot of gaming of all different kinds and learning 3d Design and animation on the side. Other details: All new, starting from scratch, ill be getting desk, chair, monitors, mouse keyboard the entire thing. Not sure if i want 3 monitors or 1 extra wide but with the advent of 4k gaming on the horizon thats something ill be aiming for. Hi Everyone, first time posting. So, first off the reasoning, I could never afford a PC, now I'm going to be selling my house and moving into an apartment due to a change on relationship. I haven't built a PC in at least 15 years so I'm very rusty in PC tech as I've just had consoles for all that time. Been doing alot of research etc, wont have the funds till late July so decided i might be better waiting till the new Nvidia 30 series is announced. If im going big why not go all the way. I wont say my budget is limitless but i already expect to be spending $10k as ill need monitors, chair etc. etc. Right now my main focus is gaming but I'll be learning 3d design on the side, so ill need something that can handle both even if it does gaming better than 3d as I'm just learning that. I see there are places in the US that make amazing custom builds but in Canada they are few and far between and usually its using their own cases like CyberPower etc which I'm not a fan of. Is there somewhere in Canada that can go wild and build a truly ultimate rig around fall (For the 30 series card) with all the newest and best components? I've built my own rigs before but so long ago that with all the new tech and how big im going i feel ill missing something. I have also tried to decide between liquid cooling and air cooling, i love how water looks and its so much cleaner to look at. But i know i cant do hard tubing on my own and even water cooling in general makes me nervous. So people who are ultimate builders, where do i go? (Man i wish i could get Linus's team to just go wild and build something haha)
