I'm looking at upgrading my rig. This thing is like 15 years old and im getting my ass handed to me with this pitiful 1060 card. so its looking like time to upgrade

I'm thinking also about upgrading monitors are the 49" curved worth it? Seems like it could be, also seems like they are pretty damn expensive. Does anyone have one ?

Not that you're actually going to listen to us, but I just did a crapload of research and ended up with these parts.

Just picked up the Monitor Flash originally posted, but 32 inch and 1440p. $279 at Costco. The LG 32GN63T to be exact. Can confirm no stupid RGB, just has red paint on the stand, and red paint on the back. Pretty much moot as I use a lift arm support and generally look at the display, not the back.

1440p is nice going from a 1080p 27 inch ASUS monitor. Everything is the same size, but more real estate. 4K would probably be dumb even at 32 inches.

If you're going to do a new build with last gen DDR4 at least do more than 16 gigs :picard:

That's also the locked version of the cpu, and the crappiest version at that. If you're going to cheap out, go with a z690 board, 16 gigs of ddr5, and an i3 or i5. That will give you an upgrade path for the future if you decide you want more grunt.

Here's a complete $500 machine that compares with your 1,000 machine.

 
I'm building this, most parts are Asus. I've got the 3090Ti, the cooler, and the 2TB Samsung 980Pro so far. I used the links in the video description. I've have a few ideas on the monitor that came up on Newegg deals.

He tells how to get Windows 11 for $30.

Juggs, build the machine yourself. It's not that hard if you watch a few videos. Find the CPU and Motherboard series you want, then search for that on YouTube. For example, I searched for Z690 Build and the above video came up, exactly what I'm looking for because I don't want liquid cooling.

He's a really weird dude that nobody overtly has acknowledged I like 20 years. We need people to make fun of but the others are easy targets. Validuz is the dumbest, most delusional person on the forum, there are a bunch of schtick posters, the had right are too easy; it gets stale.

Tehvul is the most interesting shit poster.

Mr. Jimmy Pop is the most interesting helpful person.
