Yeah, aesthetics are very very low on my list. If it was just a black metal box that would be fine.
Also, you may want to wait a few months to see if their is an official announcement about nvidia’s “Super” refresh cards. Their are rumors that in the next few months nvidia could release upgraded versions of the 4070 and 4080 that potentially would assume the same price as their current cards or only be slightly more expensive. Could also lead to price cuts for the normal 4080 so could save some money. That is of course if you aren’t in a huge rush for a new PC.

Good to know. I'm not in a great hurry, mostly looking at something over the next few months, so I can probably hold out for a bit.

4090 that came in rig is the windforce version so I'm not worried about under volting. First time having a water cou cooler too. Movin on up.

3DMark is currently on sale on Steam for a bit over $8, and includes the recent Speedway release, if anyone is in the market.

Mannn going from a curved VA to a flat VA is very difficult. Idk if I can do it. The washed out corners are so much more noticeable when you're used to them bent in towards you and retaining their clarity as if you're staring dead on. Now it feels like they're bent away.
It's actually pretty damn crazy how drastic it is after 5 years of curved. Now I understand why so many VA's are curved and how 1 million percent better it is.

I don’t have any experience with standard ratio curved, but “it looks like it’s bending backwards” is exactly how I’ve described the feeling anytime I’ve sat in front of a flat UW.

Have you seen that one monitor Corsair makes that allows you bend and change the curve of your monitor?
Corsair Xeneon Flex
I kind of hope this tech can get more refined and become more standard.

While I have played console games all this time, I haven’t played on a computer since college.
I’m going to buy a desktop. I will probably play some FPS games on it like COD.
Am I going to regret spending a little over $1,000 for an i5 chip and 16GB RAM? Will that be obsolete in 6 months?
Do I need to just cough up $3K-$4K a legit system with i9 and 64GB ram?

You can easily split the difference and have a beast
7800x3d
7900xt/4070ti/4080 tier or something like a 6950xt for 600 and wait to see what happens with GPUs next gen
2k should get you everything you need

Unfortunately, because of Intel's idiocy, those designations are meaningless within the context of either gaming performance or value. Depends on the generation, depends on the chip.
With that said, if we're just talking the tower itself, you can get a perfectly decent pew pew playing machine for a thousand bucks. It's not ideal, but it's doable.

Hi, all. I'm looking to find a good deal on a new monitor for my nephew for Christmas and was hoping you guys would help me find something for him. I'm helping him build a new computer and he needs to upgrade! He will have a 7800x3d 4070 build. I think he will be gaming in 1440p. He's most interested in best bang for the buck and not necessarily the newest model. Thanks!

Budget? What type of games is he playing? I see some decent deals right now under $200 for 27” 1440 144-165hz
Or if he’s more of a single player gamer, look at Ultrawides
Or if you really want to blow to bank out, there’s 1440p 240hz OLEDs on sale for $800ish but I’m personally holding off on those until prices drop

An i5 is good for gaming. i9 is overkill. i7 is probably the sweet spot. But there's not gonna be a huge difference between the three.

If you're just gaming, get an i5-13600k/14600k if you want Intel, get a 5800X3D/7800X3D if you want AMD.
For just gaming its not worth getting anything else if you are doing a brand new build.
