To use your own words: People who say such ignorant shit really annoy me. Makes me want to do unspeakable things in the name of the one true god - Satan. You seriously cannot be that ignorant that you think a 270X is ideal for 1080p 144hz. R9 270X - Crysis 3 - 52.1fps on high, Battlefield 3 - 62.4fps on High, Grid 2 - 64.5. Not exactly IDEAL really is it? Or is your ideal doing a mediocre job and having 50% of something wasted... So I will repeat your own words: People who say such ignorant shit really annoy me. Makes me want to do unspeakable things in the name of the one true god - Satan. To the OP, My advice is invest in decent 1080p 60Hz monitor and put the rest into either a 2nd 270X for CrossfireX or upgrade to a 290X with the trade in of your 270X. (I think your Asus Z97-K/CSM supports Crossifre)

Yeah, I own a Nikon D5100, D800 and Panasonic GX7 (and currently a Canon EOS M & Fujifilm XM-1) and of them all, the GX7 is my favourite at the moment. The D800 is a beast for using professionally, taking a beating in all weather conditions and working with my Bowens Gemini studio lights. But if all you want is simple image quality, ease of use, and editable RAW files (an absolute must), then the GX7/Sony A7/Fuji X-series are the way to go. If you want, i can post some comparable photos from them this weekend?

I have recently upgraded upgraded from a 650Ti, to a 780Ti, and i think that your SLI/780Ti decision all comes down to your monitor, and the variety of games you're gnna be playing. On Battlefield 4 and CTE My 650Ti gave me 52fps on high, and 30 on ultra, but both were very choppy. My new 780Ti now gives me a solid 115fps minimum at 2048 x 1152 resolution. I think that a 780Ti would give you an excellent solid performance boost over your 670, and would be excellent for any games that aren't optimised for SLI, however, if you are running games that are optimised then its maybe worth having the two 670's. If your 670's are the 4GB versions, the SLI combo could be a great bet for a 1440p.

My Dell SP2309W looks exactly the same with HDMI and DVI, so i would say if you're using a digital connection then no, but as others have said an analogue cable may look different. HDMI uses sRGB in the 4:4:4 colour space, whereas DVI only uses RGB 0-255. So if you are using a high end camera (still or video) that supports 4:2:2, or better, then you may notice more colours in HDMI. This may be why your DVI looks deeper (it will pick up the lower RGB tones)

Thanks for correcting my forgetfulness, I probably shouldn't try multi-tasking a desk job and posting on here. This is the set up I was supposed to be quoting, but my mind slipped off into office land. PCPartPicker part list: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/pkfpmG Price breakdown by merchant: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/pkfpmG/by_merchant/ CPU: Intel Pentium G3258 3.2GHz Dual-Core Processor (£44.34 @ Aria PC) Motherboard: MSI Z97 PC MATE ATX LGA1150 Motherboard (£60.32 @ Ebuyer) Memory: Kingston 4GB (1 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory (£28.99 @ Amazon UK) Total: £133.65 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2014-08-06 14:45 BST+0100 That way you have the unlocked CPU, a Z97 board (from a decent brand) and 4gig of RAM is ample. And this is the voltage table for the OC's http://images.anandtech.com/doci/8232/G3258%20OC%20Results.png

Its generally the same reason someone would buy an 8-core AMD, when a Quad or 6 core would do fine. If you can spend £100 more and get a functional increase in all aspects of PC usage (such as boot times, photo editing, alt-tabbing) that £100 is worth more than only getting 5fps more at super high settings, in a few games, e.g. an Nvidia 770 - 780, or 780 - 780Ti. If you can afford the better CPU and better GPU then ever better. I personally use an i7 2600 and that is giving me better performance than most i5's, even up to 4th Gen versions. So considering i knew i already had that functionality under my belt, i could invest in a 780ti at a later date(from a 650Ti), knowing i had day-to-day speed already covered with the i7.

To be fair mate, all i would say is, take a look at this, http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/TgcCZL There is plenty of overclockability on the new pentium for the price. And there is no need to go for an expensive motherboard, i have a cheap Foxconn on mine, and i am running an i7, and GTX780Ti For a budget improvement build, i would say there is no need to spend over £100, when you can get ample for that. Also, i added a new GPU for you to take a look at, if he wanted a bit of extra leeway

If you're running Windows 8.1, there is a Memory dump issue, that nothing leaves your RAM, it just fills it up, and has to be restarted to clear it. No prcesses actually show as using much, but in the overall, it shows at nearly fully used up 85-99%. This is an intermittent problem, and microsoft are putting a fix together
