running an i7 4790k at stock clocks.

 

I'm also running 2 GTX Titans in SLI. 

 

I'm looking to get a 1440p monitor with a 144 refresh rate.

 

 

 

While I don't think It will bottleneck, i just figured I'd ask the community before i went and shelled out the cash for a new monitor

 

Thanks, guys

AWesome thanks guys.,

any decent budget 1440p 144hz monitor recommendations ?

qnix qx2710, it is a 1440p and it is extremely OCable, I do own one, I settled to OC mine around 90hz but you can go up to 100-140hz. Granted this is if you are looking for a affordable 1440p panel that you can OC. Also to add it is really a samsung rebrand.

No problem if cost is not an issue the ASUS ROG SWIFT PG278Q 27" , from my experience, is a very nice panel as well. Though I have lately disliked ASUS due to their customer support, but that is just my issue lol.

black friday is not as relevent here in canada. ill definitely look though lol

 

crap just notice the location xD I mean after Xmas sales or something on that line from a major holiday would be your best bet. Other than that the shell shocker deals on newegg have recently been good so do keep an eye on that.

depends on what, but i've found some good deals on black friday...it's usually in the electronics department at best buy and such though...there is usually not much rebates on PC parts...even in the US.

True, my luck has mainly been with amazon when it came to black friday. but really comes down to what you are looking for.
