They all do, even tGOAT LG UD88 has what they call a "Light anti-gloss coating." How different light is to full, no clue.

Yeah that's BS . The CrossOvers Koreans are glossy. But really wanted GSync for 2160

How many weeks are you in Houston? I will be there the 25th. Going to be a long two weeks actually because I will be in Vegas on the 19th-22nd then come back home and leave for Houston on the 24th.

Looking for the best GPU for my current system that I am working on.
Very broad statement. We need to know your budget for the card because the best card to get right now is the $700 gtx 1080

"best sound/audio possible" is pretty broad, too. Depending on your ears and affinity for high-end audio lying well into placebo-land, that could be thousands of dollars. Prioritize the output device. Sound cards won't make up for bad speakers or headphones.

like to be able to somewhat future proof it, if that is even possible with GPU's
Nope. 4K gaming for the latest games really calls for a $700 GPU, and it's still not quite caught up with the demands of AAA titles. If you're wanting to game at 4K for older titles, that can be accomplished with a GTX 1070 or Fury.
The best GPU now will be half the performance of the best GPU in 18 months, and the processing demand of some of the latest games may scale similarly. Really no such thing as future-proofing a PC for gaming. With video editing, though, you get what you need for the work you do and the software you use, and that shouldn't call for more unless you start dealing with even larger projects and/or change software.
What software do you use for video editing?

Yeah, that's a good one once you get past the steep learning curve. Admittedly, I haven't, but I found Sony Vegas a little easier. The important thing is that the software you use is actually programmed to take advantage of your hardware most effectively. Those non-professional home/consumer programs (like Cyberlink/Windows Movie Maker/Pinaccle/iMovie/etc) are designed to work with low-end machines and in fact get no benefits from workstation rigs, because they don't really need or use high-end GPUs for rendering, don't use more than 4 threads/cores for rendering or encoding, nor do they cache entire projects to RAM and instead rely on the speed of your hard drive/SSD.

If it were me and I was going to be doing more video editing and processing/rendering than anything else I would go with a x99 board and a Haswell-E CPU over Skylake because of more cores especially if I was going to be focusing on 4k video; or are you only looking to game at 4k?
You can pick up a 5920K for about $385.00 on Amazon right now, which is 6 cores running at 3.3Ghz that you can easily overclock to about 4.2-4.5 Ghz. You're going spend more than $150.00 on a mother board also, though.

Was just day for the day. I'm in Corpus for the next 6months, possibly 18months.

Yea Corpus is Little Mexico. What a shtt hole. Almost worse than North Baton Rouge.

I think I'm going to upgrade to a Kaby Lake i7 from my current Sky Lake i5 this fall. Should get a release date at IDF next week.

Anyone need DDR4 RAM before I sell it on eBay/Hardware swap?
16GB (4x4) Mushkin Redline DDR4-3000.
I used it in my system for the last 6 months or so.

$60 shipped to someone on here.

I forgot to tell you guys but I rented some office space and a warehouse for my business but the cool thing is that I am building my own private break area that can only be accessed through my office. Putting a TV, cable, Xbone in it plus a sofa I can go chill on.

Masturbating Room.
It's a must for free thought thinking.
Edt:
Nah, consulting on a new PET facility being built by M&G out of China. Will be the largest plastics producer in the world in 18 months.

It's mostly for me to watch football when I work on weekends.

This is a good idea. I don't mind working weekends dueing football season if I can enjoy the game while doing so. Sometimes I'm in the situation to do so and sometimes I'm not.

I work at least a few hours every Saturday and no way I am missing college football
