You're not doing RGB right until several weeks after the build when you disable or turn down the effects because the annoyances outweigh the cool factor. Only then will you have truly mastered the art of RGB.

I'm from and live in Vegas, it has to be brighter than the Luxor.
All kidding aside, picked up this case, a radiator and PSU tonight.
It'll look somewhat like this minus the reservoir/piping. Just having fun w/ it. Wife and I both building new PCs, with a long term goal of these parts to trickle down to PCs for the kids over time.
Speaking of lighting, Bias lighting for the back of monitor's etc... is worth looking into if you tend to play in a dark/dim room. It really helps with eyestrain and avoiding brightness bloom issues without interfering with picture quality or causing reflections. Even something like a little white LED strip attached to the back can work. Just don't have it pulsing or changing colours as that can make it worse. Just be mindful of shitty cheap strips if you're powering it through the PC's usb as that's never a good idea.

That's the one I think I want. The higher clock speeds, or RGB colors are not worth the higher price. The 1080 Ti is a beast of a card, and I think pretty equal in benchmarks to the 2070, but buying new, with warranty makes me feel more comfortable.
Their cards range from $500-$630, but didn't think it was worth it?

But it's not. The 2070 is much closer to a standard 1080. Not suggesting it's a bad choice at all, but that comparison is a mistake.

edit: Yikes! I was just looking at the prices of new video cards in Australia. Fucking ridiculous.

i got the CORSAIR Gaming Performance FPS MOBA Keycap Kit – for Mechanical Keyboards for my home keys f/j, my nubs wore out and these feel nice and angled.
other than those, i had a set ordered years ago, the cheap ABS plastic, i didn't much like.

Look at Humanscale stuff, specifically M/FLEX and PARA/FLEX for M2 and M8 Arms. You should be able to mount up to 2 x 24 lb X34Ps

I was looking at this, where the game FPS are very very similar.

Nice part is you can reuse it with any future big monitors no matter how useless their built in stands are. Aggregate the cost over a few display upgrades and it lessens the pain a lil. They are *solid*, reliable and save a lot of space. M8 is a godsend if you need space or have multiple display setups.
I have a small office with very little space and it is setup with three displays: a 40" (with an M8 arm) sandwiched between a 32" and 24" (with regular desktop portrait stands). The 40" monitor is 11.5 Kg and and M8 can handle it with ease. Lets me have the huge screen on a regular desk with the monitor hovering right over the far edge of the desk with the bottom edge of the monitor right @ desktop height.

check the weight imo, i googled a few 34" and some are on the 18lb side, so it depends on how good your monitor arm is.
Note, my expensive 100$ ergotron could NOT adjust (tilt head sucks) an old ass 24" hp (heavy shit), i moved that monitor over to the newer $20 monitor arms i bought, which i believe are sturdier and more adjustable, and they worked better.

Post just went up an hour or so ago for a RTX 2070: ROG-STRIX-RTX2070-O8G-GAMING | Graphics Cards | ASUS USA
$510 , but probably see if he'll just do $500 even.
Getting it off the hardware swap reddit! Excited!!!

Do I use custom keycaps? Why yes I do!
For the look.
Pudding is my keycap of choice. Have 3 keyboards with them now.

If you're near a wall, look into tv mounts IMO. If you want to adjust them, it might take some digging, as most tv mounts only swivel left/right and can tilt, but there are some others that will also have height adjustment.

Seller on that 2070 gave me an out last night after taking all day to respond. I said I went a different route, and thanks but no thanks.
Got talked out of it, to wait and see if there is a 2070 Ti announcement, and to see if nVidia does a across the board price drop.
