Update on PC Build:
I have purchased the CPU, Mobo, RAM, cooler and SSD.
CPU & Mobo w/RAM: Newegg Combo Deal
CPU Cooler: Liquid CPU cooler
SSD: Amazon SSD
Crossing fingers for a deal on the PSU, Graphics Card and case during black friday/cyber monday?

Don't know how I missed this until now...
Which CPU? That link doesn't work anymore.
But yeah, in my opinion, new builds should always get their own threads. Just hard to keep up with them otherwise

You don't need a liquid cooler.

No, but “need” is a strong word and for $55 it’s not really an issue.

I spent like $300 on mine because I wanted my PC to look cool

I hear ya
Aside from the cool factor, I like being able to dump the heat straight out of my system instead of dragging it over my components.

My son said he wanted as much RGB in his PC as possible so the liquid cooler does the job in that category.

I think I've gone too far. Got another AW3225QF for Black Friday and dual 32" is just too damn much

Bro...

I've got one 34" and have thought "the size is fine, but I guess I could reasonably go up to 38" or so..."
You're a fricking madlad

I may just bring one to the office. It's absurd. I don't even know where to look

Right? At least they'll look great
I got caught up in the moment bc I hate having a horizontal monitor and a vertical. With the Dell sale ($810 for the AW3225QF + 20% cashback from capital one offer link + $50 back for using Amex) I was like "ok great, now I can just get a second monitor and it'll be a perfect match
...No. It's too big

I've got a (probably) stupid question. If I have a 144hz monitor but I set the refresh rate to 72hz will it look bad?

Probably not. You’ll notice that’s exactly half of the full refresh rate. Should refresh clean, just at half the rate.
But link to the monitor? Is it freesync/gsync compatible?
Posted on 12/8/24 at 7:34 pm to Joshjrn
Well I was looking at a 4k 60 monitor, everyone keeps telling me to go for 144 but I know my 4070 Super ain't cut out for that.

Do not, under any circumstances, buy a monitor that doesn’t have variable refresh rate capabilities (the aforementioned freesync/gsync). It’s extremely important.
But if you have variable refresh, you just don’t have to worry about it. You won’t have any screen tearing regardless. I have a 144hz monitor and game at whatever, depending on the game.
