How do you tell ppl no when they sort of force it on you?
I was glad people asked me first. I would be pissed if anyone begged for money on my behalf. I guess if it's already done just graciously accept it, hopefully it doesn't blow up into way more money than the target amount. At least with the Louisiana flood several of my coworkers were also affected, so all the attention wasn't focused on me.

I agree 100% that I would go with the 7700k, but when you're on a budget, I'd much rather put that extra $100 into a better video card and get better performance. Especially if you're going to higher resolutions, where the CPU bottleneck isn't nearly as bad

If you're on a budget you go Ryzen, and then put the rest into the GPU. 7600K just doesn't make sense anymore.
The new Intel price brackets with the 8700K being 7700K price, will drop the 7700K quite a bit to make it a not nearly as big a step up in price by the time he specifically buys next year.
8700K MSRP is $388 and the leaked pricing has them at $349-399 for an unlocked 6c/12t CPU. $299 or less for a 7700K, I'd imagine will be able to find them regularly for $279ish maybe even less...The 8600K 6c/6t is at $284 MSRP.
I love that we are finally at the point of more cores/threads in PC gaming, talked about it for so long and it's here. Ryzen helped rush Intel along a bit quicker than most anticipated. Mainstream 6+ core affordable processors with most of your major titles now optimizing to make use of the extra cores. Fun times.

A 7600k/GTX1080 for the purposes he outlined is more than enough imo.
fricking UH and his fanboy bullshite. We get it, you have AMD stock.

I'm recommending a 7700K you dumb frick.

For sure, any non-overclockable i5 is out of the question now. Otherwise, it really doesn't matter, because if your frame rate is at all limited by your CPU, you've fricked up.

You will recover, I promise.

What do y'all think about 32" 1440p monitors? I really like 27", but I found a good deal on a ASUS PB328Q. I sit probably 2ft away from my monitor now. Would 32" be too big for my FPS games (PUBG and H1Z1)?
Posted on 9/22/17 at 3:03 pm to bluebarracuda
IDK.
@ 32" I would prefer 2160. 1440 @ 27" seems like the limit i'm comfortable with now.
I have 2 x CrossOvers 32" 2160s. Feel as though that is a good spot. The same as I felt with 27" 1440s.

I got a 32" TV for my kitchen just a few weeks ago and that reassured me 27" is as big as I want for PC. Just too big imo.
I absolutely love my 27" curved monitor, very immersive but takes some time to get used to.
HDR is still broken in Windows 10, has been since April when they introduced it. Works for games of course but not the desktop.

Think I'll be grabbing the 8700K when it launches, appears to be a beastly chip especially for that price. Reports of OC's hitting 5.3GHz.

Now when it comes to overclocking, there are kind of mixed reports. One Chinese source has said that 5.3 GHz on the Core i7-8700K and 5.0 GHz on the Core i3-8350K are possible with simple core tuning but you would require a good AIO cooler or high-end air coolers to keep these chips cooler under load.

What's a good malware program these days? My league acct got hacked. PC should be clean but just want to be safe.

Malwarebytes if you're wanting free.
