I want to upgrade my pc to 144 fps, ultra and no tearing. I have a beautiful MSI monitor but it's not being used to the
best of it's ability. My first thought is to sell my pc but I don't know anyone who'll do it.
I love my PC so much but it's time to move ON!

Just save your money for the end of the year and pick up a next gen AMD GPU with a cheaper than G-sync free-sync display upgrade.

GPU prices are still broken for the most part.

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?
