Posted September 1, 2016 I plan to build a new pc sometime late Q1 2017. The reason is I want to see the 1080Ti vs Vega flagship showdown as well as how the top-shelf ZEN will preform against Kaby Lake. This early I mainly focus on doing my research as I have never done watercooling, overclocking and my only custom built is my beast of a NAS. Display: Currently I play on 30-60Hz 1080p with my 760 2x SLI. Realistically will the 1080Ti 2x SLI or Vega CF be able to handle 4k 144Hz at a stable rate with a secondary screen? I do know there is no such screen yet, but there are 4k 120Hz IPS one by Samsung. Can I expect that in half a year there will be a 4k 144Hz (with 4-5ms response time + freesync + IPS) screen manufactured? According to wikipedia the display port 1.4 could handle this whith DSC support. That depends solely on the GPU driver, right? Motherboard: Based on the specs we have so far I expect that the Zen vs Kaby lake will end with zen out performing with about 5% average in the same segment. If Zen is released can I expect to have motherboards with AM4 to be released at the same time? Watercooling: 1. How much time is usually between a GPU/CPU release and waterblocks for them appearing on the market? Now that Vega got officially delayed to Q1 2017, I'm a bit concerned for my time-frame if it takes too long. 2. I read some cases about how rubber in fittings may react to a kill coil in the water by coloring it. Are there any manufacturers whose product are confirmed to do this? I plan to go with Bitspower components and AlphaCool or AquaComputer waterblocks. EDIT: screen specs updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently I have an LG D2343P with 5ms response time which doesnt seem to change much for IPS panels, I think It'll be good enough for me, I dont play much fps games.

There probably will not be a 4k 144Hz,4ms,IPS,G-Sync/Free-Sync monitor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
