Not bad, the 1060 is 6GB or 3GB?

6GB thank god.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

6GB thank god.

6Gb?? Better keep that 4k monitor, you're gonna need it (jk)

How much for the monitor btw? Still have original box?

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Also... That 1050 in your rig... Is it passive? Do you still have it and would you be interested in selling if yes?

 

[RCoon]

No idea, don't have the original box.

Also... That 1050 in your rig... Is it passive?

Nah it's got two fans, takes up two slots, just has the bracket to make it half-height. Fits in most HTPC cases though. Doesn't require an additional power connector.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Damn. Well i know my dad is thinking about getting a new monitor and GPu to watch 4k content. I'll have a word with him when i get home and see what he'd like to offer you

[RCoon]

[FreedomEclipse]

No joy on getting my dad to pick up your 1050ti and 4k dell he did consider it for a long while though

Lol way out of my price range..i'm thinking of like £300 tops if i was to look for a new monitor. I don't mind TN panels as i use them for work and my eyes just automatically adjust to TN panel to my VA panel on my Samsung.
What about this one?
Thoughts on used monitors aswell? Found this exact one on ebay going for £200 which is only "month" old from the user.

This. You can get nice IPS panels with G/Free-Sync at 75Hz without breaking the bank too much. Not entirely sure how much it's worth though, I don't notice a huge difference unless I'm specifically looking for it.

what are you using atm and can you use it a bit more till some worthy new tech finally comes out (this way you will have some more time to save for new monitor).
few things to consider for new monitor purchase.
do you need 120-144fps to play your games? can your 580 output 120-144fps in your games?
TN at work doesnt bother you (and also you cant do much about it) but do you have to sacrifice picture quality for your fun time.
what is HDR is it worth waiting is up to you. qdot article on tftcentral is "comming soon" since quite a lot of time but if i got it right from HDR article it should offer "HDR like experianse" at reasonable price till HDR finally comes mainstream (i hope i dont have to wait next life for this ).
samsung already have some 1st gen qdot offerings @1080p 24" and 27" size. may be you will be able to find some nice deals on them online

Going to be using my PC for majority of triple A titles and many others now,next title probably going to be shadow of war. As for playing games around 120-144fps nope definitely not achievable lol hence why i asked about whether if 75hz freesync is worth it.
I will be looking at new monitor if my partner is going to go for dual monitor set up over her 42" 1080p TV which she use it for PS4 only atm,i'll be looking at giving her my Samsung monitor and i get new one.
HDR doesn't bother me personally and sacrifice in quality is very minor in my eyes.
I did see those Samsung monitor,would prefer 27" but the price increase just for extra 3" is just silly lol.

One day in 2003 i had the great good fortune to spend 6 hours with Sir Bruce Forsyth. It was just me and him and i had a thoroughly nice time especially as i was on overtime and got paid £ 24.50 an hour to be there........

Need advice
My mate want me to swap his i7 5930k and Msi x99s plus motherboard 2xgtx 970 1200w psu and corsair case but no ram cou cooler and hdd was built by Overclockers for my ryzen 5 1600x Msi x370 gaming Pro carbon motherboard 8gb ram aio cooler 1000w psu gtx 660 cooler master case but no hdd. Then i will add £150 cash. Is it worth it to swap?

Abit confused right now.
TIA

 

[dorsetknob]

will he Sweeten the pot with a night out with his wife/girlfriend or would that be a deal killer
you don't mention ram on his side of the Deal to you ????

Cost his System ( what your Getting ) via Ebay sales
then do the Same for what he Gets from you

That will give you some idea of the hardware trading value between the pair of you

it then comes down to value and eventual hardware preference

its going to cost you at least £ 270.00 to take his pc on ( RAM, cooler, £150.00) . Sell your gtx 660 ( £ 60.00) and buy a better gpu for the Ryzen system and keep it for yourself
