xFurnish Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 No hdd or sdd? Link to comment
Agent X Posted February 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) I have the HDD and SSD, PSU and everything else in my computer now. All of the components in the pic's are being upgraded in my current setup. Saves me a bit of money considering the new parts cost $1400+. Technically not a new computer but I'm gutting my current set up and replacing with shiny parts. Edited February 10, 2016 by Agent X Link to comment

I'm not into fancy and/or flashing lights. It's just going to be the beast that doesn't look like a beast. Link to comment

I did a lot of thinking on whether or not to spend this kind of money on a Monitor, 3-4 months. In the end the 144hz 1ms at 1440p just seemed to be worth the new gaming experience. It seemed to best compliment the new CPU and GPU. Cant wait to test this thing out. Heard some great stuff about it and some bad stuff. Only time will tell.

Ghillie Dhu Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 700 $ might seem allot for a monitor but here is the plus side of it you can turn of v sync means more fps g sync is really good no more screen tearing you pay 400 $ for a good 144 hrz for a surplus you get the above Link to comment

Distinct Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Could've gotten triple monitor setup with BenQ 24 inch monitors for cheaper.... Link to comment

Understandable. Like I said before. I did a lot of going back and forth on which monitor to choose. I decided that I wanted a 1440p monitor and was going to go with the BenQ XL2730Z 2560x1440 when it was $519. The price went from 519 to 666 over night and has stayed there since. The Asus has Gsync and the BenQ free sync. I decided to spend the extra 20 bucks and go with the Gsync in order to avoid any hassle in dealing with the refresh rates for specific games. Besides I have multiple monitors as it is and could get a new one if i needed to. Link to comment
Diseased Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Cool build shold run arma 3 good for 2-3 years Link to comment
Pentax Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 144 hz won't even be felt on arma 3, cause arma 3 never can even reach 144 fps Cool setup though, I'm thinking of upgrading soon myself, and planning to invest up to 4k into everything. Link to comment

It'll still be better than my current setup by far. My I7-3770k just cant handle it anymore. Link to comment

That's because of cookies son, it caught you clicking on that monitor a few times so it became more expensive. Fuck cookies. Link to comment

Try a 144Hz monitor, set it to 60Hz, play some arma 3 and preferably drive a sports at 300km/h. Then set it to back 144Hz and realize what kind of aids 60Hz actually is. It's not all about 144Hz = 144fps. Edited February 11, 2016 by Big Fred Link to comment
Big Fred Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Agent I'm curious though, how come you choose a Haswell instead of Skylake? Link to comment
Churu Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 That's some good parts! Link to comment
Clint Beastwood Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Nice work. Good shit with the ROG swift. I bought that 8 months ago and never looked back. 22 hours ago, Pentax said: 144 hz won't even be felt on arma 3, cause arma 3 never can even reach 144 fps He'll definitely see a difference with gsync alone coming from a 60hz monitor. Everything is just smoother- plus playing other games at 144hz is just icing on the cake. Link to comment
