Well, coulda gotten a free-sync display of the same type for $200 less

or $100 more for a 4k IPS free-sync display

Well, sorry you're stuck with G-sync anyways


far as the CPU goes, why sacrifice CPU performance for a few more fps for slightly smoother gameplay? You're sacrificing 4 potential threads for a relatively small gain for gaming in AAA titles.

it would cost as extra(2011-3 mobo's are more expensive) ~200(AUD) for those 4 threads. and gaming is a higher priority then 3D work (its an occasional hobby).

Well that doesn't make much sense, AMD cards in the mid range give you more performance and, you could have saved hundreds on your display, plus current nvidia cards don't seem to support DX12 very well. Really not too many reasons to buy an nvidia card atm, just the 950 if a 960/380 is out of the question, 980ti nor a Fury X is worth the money with new GPUs coming in a few months

Well, you're a strange one then man, it makes a lot more sense to get a much better CPU than to push slightly higher frame rates in AAA games.

 

Also 4k is more about productivity than gaming
