YEah its basically what I got. Shit is solid. That i7 proc is top of the line, even comparable to the latest ryzens. The 3070 will serve you well for 1080p and up to 1440p. Add a storage drive in there and youre golden. (which you can add yourself)

Also get the KF version fo the processor. Its basically the same thing although cheaper because it does not have on board graphics. For the savings get a better cooler, maybe a 240mm radiator instead of a 120mm. That proc runs warm.

maybe hold off on adding a second drive for now, hard drive prices are nearing 3080 prices cuz ppl are now mining chia coins which uses hard drive space

this is purely 3.5 hard drives with platters, it doesn't affect SSD's (or any nvme, etc) b/c this hard drive coin mining will kill a ssd in a month.

Do you have a parts list for this build? I can guess on some of them.

Did you move over into the full build "market" versus just GPU's? I love building computers so thought about doing it as well, but never took the leap.

So which 3440x1440 monitor doesn't suck these days? Price is no real object.

I just bought an Asus VG34VQL1B kind of on a whim and I'm gonna have to just return it tomorrow. The motion blur is fucking unreal and Path of Exile is basically unplayable, so either this monitor is just broken or these VA panels are unusable trash? It has a "low motion blur" option you can enable, which helps a bit, but also adds a ton of fucking color trails all over, so my choices are vaseline vision during motion or fucked up colors all over the place.

Checking the rtings review, that seems to be the main knock on that one. I don't use UW monitors so I don't have any recommendations for alternatives though.

Yep that's the exact problem I've having with it already. Apparently this is just a thing with VA panels?

Puts me in kind of a weird spot cause my two main games (PoE and Tarkov) both benefit massively using the ultrawide resolution, but also both look absolutely shit if there's motion blur/smearing.

I'm not likely to even consider UW monitors for a few more years, I'm usually well behind the curve on them. I picked this up in January and have been very pleased with it.

when my moving guy came to inspect my stuff, he saw all my monitors and asked

"please tell me you don't have a curved monitor"

i don't

"good, they break all the time during transport, no matter how good we crate them, so we don't even transport them anymore"

The only reason I could think of where I would want something curved is for some crazy immersive cockpit setup if I hit it rich. At that point VR would probably be a better option anyway.

I keep all the boxes and packing materials for all my monitors just in case I have to move them.

Spoiler: I've been in the exact same room for 32 years.

Whatever you tried to embed from Amazon didn't work.

I have a pair of 27" 1440 IPS monitors already. Nothing is wrong with either of them, the plan was to get the ultrawide and move the two 27" to vertical and use them mainly for productivity, with the ultrawide center for game stuff.

The mega resolution is definitely nice, but man the VA panel is tough to swallow after having IPS for so many years.

it was the LG 27GL83A-B, which is a 27" 1440 IPS. If you've got an ad blocker on it might be interfering with the amazon embed.
