Both of my buddies bought the Predator IPS and love it. What monitor did you end up getting?

Thing is dead on arrival, it apparently can't even keep up with the 1080, let alone the 1080ti. Fucking AMD.

New gaming PC build time.
4K res.
What single video card?
AMD back in the game? Still go with Intel?
I want the CPU that makes the most sense. Does not need to be the best bang for the buck.
How much memory needed now?
Worth building myself anymore? Just go a pre-made?
Thanks.

The AMD Radeon RX Vega 56 seems reasonable, but benchmarks are needed of course. Other than that I will wait on Navi and whatever Nvidia has after Volta.

1080ti is the only choice if u want a 4k rig off of one card. Maybe whatever Titan they have out.

Will be interesting to hear what exactly happened with Vega in 6 months. They where showing it off playing Doom/Battlefront 8-9 months ago yet it is still not released.
7700k is really the only Intel CPU worth considering now and thats if you game at 1080p. Their entire i5 line is completely blown away by Ryzen and their "HEDT" CPUs(Kaby Lake-X) are a hilariously pathetic joke not even worth considering.
If youre wanting 4K then a 1080ti is a must. At that resolution the Ryzen 1600 or 1700 is going to be the better buy v 7700k as the FPS is literally the same between them at 4K but be $100-150 cheaper.

Damn, thing has a huge die size but power efficiency (which is everything now) is utter crap and regressing. What hapenned? Their simulations *lied*, something got f*cked up and they did not have enough money/people for a backup plan most likely. There was some great sandbagging going on with Zen but with Vega it looks like graphics group budget was cut much too thin. AMD CPU group kicked it into higher gear and now RTG sucks. Radeon 290 deja vu indeed.
(edit) Oh, other part that keeps happening is NVIDIA kicking more and more ass on GPU side... they are generation and half ahead now with Volta already coming out for HPC customers. NVIDIA also wisely stuck to TSMC to fab their chips whereas AMD apparently went to Global Foundries for first time with a brand new GPU design.

Received the BenQ XL2430. Set it up. Everything was working great, switched from 60hz to 144hz and.... there are four lines running horizontally across the monitor. Have to RMA it. I hope this RMA process doesn't suck. First BenQ monitor. Have owned Viewsonics and Asus before this.

Well, the name of the company is BenQ. I would think if they were serious they would develop real branding.
