Why don't you get like  a single 1TB Sata 3 SSD instead two ssd?

 

I would get 3700x over 3800x unless 3800x is on sale.

On Black Friday the 3800x was on cheaper than any 3700x (it went on a flash sale for under $400 CAD).

 

And I bought the 1TB NVME on Black Friday, and I sacrified the other two SSDs out of my old rig.

Well unfortunately it only comes with a DP 1.2 cable, not 1.4? So I can't figure out how to run it past 120hz. But it feels like absolute butter. I've only had the chance to play one game on it, but it looks beautiful and runs so damn smooth. I love it.

ONE OF US. ONE OF US.

Ultrawides are just so sweet. All the screen space, it's a totally different experience

 

Take a look around in the OSD settings for an "overclock" setting. Enable it and it should be able to run higher

I went from ASUS VE278Q 27' 1920x1080 60hz to LG 34GL750 34' 2560 x 1080 144hz gsync and freesync and I love it! Some people say 2560 x 1080 is not enough for 34 but to me it still looks good. If I am fine on 27 1080p than 34 is no problem at all. I wish I can afford 1440p ultrawide.

Ahaha yeah it was never really something I considered until I started looking into this build. I already love it way more than my triple 1080s.

 

And I just looked all through my OSD settings, there's no OC. It should just natively run 144hz. I even have DP 1.4 selected in the OSD. But I think  my cable is throttling it unfortunately. It's still godlike IMO.

I literally had triple Asus VE278Qs before this. This is an intergalatical jump IMO. I love it so much. It was the best investment of the whole PC.
