Desktop Computers

Looks fine to me. Price isn't bad due to gpu prices

If you need a new computer I'd take that yea. You'd be paying that much or more just for a 1080 trying to build one on your own right now.

I’m upgrading from an M18x R1 with i7 2920xm and dual 780m - I looked at the userbenchmark.com comparisons and was 1) surprised that my old laptop was still able to run current games (albeit not on ultra high), and 2) excited about how much better this desktop will run.

Yea that should be a pretty significant upgrade. You'll very likely want some kid of SSD to boot off, but otherwise it looks totally fine.

Dell has their 27” S271DG on sale for $399, QHD at 144hz with G-SYNC

I have an ASUS 27” QHD with a great pic, but no gsync and not 144hz... feedback?

2 questions, what video card do you have and what games are you looking to play? I don't know that particular model, but specs seem good for that pricing.

144hz in fps is a must after you try it. It's sort of like the jump from 30->60

Looks like they're shipping me a 1080. Bets on it also not working?

Replacing my psu as well, computer behaves a bit weird at times.

The standard internet answer, get both. Just kidding.

I'm trying to combine computers in a way. I have a computer a gaming GPU and another with a Quadro GPU. Anyone know of a motherboard or way to have both on a motherboard and the ability to switch, even switch with a reboot or something?

Picked up a Corsair H115i and the fastest DDR3 Vengeance memory I could find, of course the H115i didn't fit in my 300R case. I had to go to Fry's and buy another one and ended up with a 400C.

My power supply is a half modular pile of shit and has too many wires taking up too much space that I can't use and I'm having to run a power cable through the middle of the case to the mobo due to how short it is. What do you guys/gals recommend for a fully modular power supply, I don't want any wires that can't be removed.

Netting about 15-20fps more with the overclock so things are looking good. I just used the OC Genie, been a long time since I did some manual overclocking, might try to hit 4.5ghz.

Do you have a 144hz with an IPS panel? If so what model?

TN panel, just one of the Acer's

God fucking dammit I was coming to this thread hoping for some good news, but nope. Buttfucked. Really don't want to have to buy a pre-built to get a 1080ti at a non-rape price but I'm starting to get impatient. The only real upside is I want to build a second tower with old hardware and load it up for hard drives as a server anyway, but unless I can find the exact box I want for $2k or maybe a little over I'll just hold out til Volta and be that asshole F5'ing for in stock. Basically I want a 8700K CPU, 1080ti video card, 32 GB RAM, and a 750+W PSU from a good company. Motherboard I'm pretty flexible on, there's so many good manufacturers out there but I've had great luck with Asrock and Asus in recent years. Don't want or need hard drives which is the biggest issue I'm having with pre-builts, can't seem to find any that don't force one on you.
