Which is for me

[Peacefulgaming]

I’m looking for a monitor to add to my build I may look at getting to but I don’t know what to get, I want a monitor that will look great for single player games and 144Hz for when I competitively on games like siege

im in Australia and I don’t want anything over $500 each and if I need two to get both features I would like them to be roughly the same size

he said 144hz

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/product/4cbkcf/acer-monitor-xb241h

its 180hz actually and has G-sync. I would recoomend at least a 1080+ if you want to play at max settings with gsync and 180hz

I woud recomend you this one if you are using a AMD cart because it has amd freesync

Do i need to suit any other parts to suit this monitor

 Was hoping to steering away from amd

so buy mine  180 hz is very good and its gsync for your nvidia card

 

 

Spoiler

He has a intel igpu

Alright, thank you. I’m going to have to look at a 1080 or 1080ti, do i need high speed ssd to get good frames. Plus is it good to oc a monitor 

[Firewrath9]

not really the difference from a 2 sec boot and a .5 isnt much. just buy the cheapest .5TB or 1TB

Ah ok, the other other day i was told that i needed a good ssd and ram to get high frames

This a build i was told to use

Try this: cut down on some overly expensive parts and got 32GB of RAM, a faster 1080ti thats cheaper and a better cooler.

lator, i think the motherboard can hold 2 m.2 drives so you can buy another one and RAID 0 it for 2x speeeed

Alright what is RAID 0

[Firewrath9]

@Peacefulgaming

AID 0 (also known as a stripe set or striped volume) splits ("stripes") data evenly across two or more disks, without parity information, redundancy, or fault tolerance. Since RAID 0 provides no fault tolerance or redundancy, the failure of one drive will cause the entire array to fail; as a result of having data striped across all disks, the failure will result in total data loss. This configuration is typically implemented having speed as the intended goal.^[2][3]RAID 0 is normally used to increase performance, although it can also be used as a way to create a large logical volume out of two or more physical disks.^[4]

A RAID 0 setup can be created with disks of differing sizes, but the storage space added to the array by each disk is limited to the size of the smallest disk. For example, if a 120 GB disk is striped together with a 320 GB disk, the size of the array will be 120 GB × 2 = 240 GB. However, some RAID implementations allow the remaining 200 GB to be used for other purposes.

The diagram in this section shows how the data is distributed into Ax stripes on two disks, with A1:A2 as the first stripe, A3:A4 as the second one, etc. Once the stripe size is defined during the creation of a RAID 0 array, it needs to be maintained at all times. Since the stripes are accessed in parallel, an n-drive RAID 0 array appears as a single large disk with a data rate n times higher than the single-disk rate.

 

TL;DR: Raid is when you split a file in half, then put half on one drive and half on the other so you can access both at the same time.

Upside is 2x faster, downside is if a drive fails, then the other half cant be used basically 2x as fast but 2x more likely to fail.

RAID 1 is the opposite, same thing on 2 drives, 1/2 the storage, 2x less likely to fail.
