How's that bottlenecking??? When the i5 does better in gaming? Vs ryzen

i5 + 1070 = bottleneck

R5 + 1080 = no bottleneck

 

love that logic.

 

But with fast RAM, Ryzen does the same in gaming and better in Chrome, multitasking, content creation and streaming.

What games are you planning to play?

Are you just playing casually and e-sports games or are you playing high quality (Witcher 3 etc.) 4K mastered games or do you want to strike a balance with a 1440p high refresh rates monitor? Do you need accurate colors for video production and would you rather have a IPS (Good viewing angles, but poorer refresh rates) or VA (Worse viewing angles, higher refresh rates)?

Game's well a little of everything from fast paced shooting and more slower games like racing and what not, I dont really mind view angle stuff its going to be maybe a foot away at most and 1440 144hz or 4k is where i was looking but it depends on what you can fit in the budget seeming the that 144hz is 150$ more ish

[Daniel Z.]

1440p 144hz IPS monitor, great for comp games like TF2, CSGO, Overwatch AND more casual games like Battlefield, Witcher 3, Crysis 3, SW Battlefront (its kinda old but it still looks nice).

It all depends on what you can fit within 2500$ without getting rid of the 1080ti I did start looking into curved but think there a little higher price side 

[ArcticSalad]

Here's one. It's a bit over budget, but I was able to fit in all the good stuff and it looks super classy. It's rocking a Ryzen 7 1700, 1080ti, 144Hz 1440p monitor, SSD and 16GB of RAM.

Tn monitor, and please don't buy from kinguin or g2a.

The PNY CS2211 is actually a pretty good SSD and a fantastic price. Double check your research there.

 

The monitor I listed is a good gaming monitor. It's 144Hz, it's 1440p, 27 inches and very highly rated - although you're right that it is a shame the monitor is only TN. If it matters to the thread owner, there are plenty of 60Hz 1440p IPS panels for around the same price. I'll edit in an alternative or two into my original post soon.

kinguin/g2a is bad for devs and could be stolen
