Not sure if this is the right place to post this but here it goes. I’ve been looking for a good 1440p display to upgrade from my 24” 1920x1200 Apple Cinema IPS Display. I’ve been looking specifically for a decent VA panel, because I use my PC in a relatively dim room so the blacks on IPS...

Looking to build a PC to play and livestream Destiny 2. Just wondering where I should put my bottom line when it comes to a graphics card. I don’t want to have to have to upgrade it when I get a 144hz monitor, but I don’t think I’ll be playing at 4K or even anything higher than maybe 1440p. I’m...

I hope this is in the right section. I don't post a lot, mostly a lurker. So, after a long time on an FX 6300 I have the opportunity to upgrade (I'm very excited). For the last 5 months I've been reading everything I can get my hands on, watching endless YT vids (some of questionable...

I'm amazed that I still have this account and since reddit was of no help I'm going onto here for help. I bought the HKC X3 a while ago and aside from some backlight bleed and a green line to the right, it is the best monitor I have ever owned for it's 5,000:1 contrast ratio and it's refresh...

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Gaming and just general browsing and such. I will definitely be playing Civ VI when that comes out. Also looking to get Mafia 3 and maybe Battlefield One. 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? I'd say...

I am a very amateur welder and built my desk around my 42" TV as a multimedia center for my small bedroom. I was given this nice Sony TV - completely due to the missing stand and damaged wall mount hardware. My office is run off of a Dell laptop (i7 8gb RAM, 1TB HDD, nothing too special). What...
