I don't think I've ever used all of my 16 gigs of RAM and I play a bunch of unoptimized indy games with memory leaks.
I have a Dell IPS monitor and doubt I'll be replacing it any time soon (U2412M). Such a nice monitor.Yeah, this thing is redonkulous. It looks insane in both Guild Wars 2 (a game with very good colors/art and inconsistent FPS making the gsync actually have to work) and also insane in SW Battlefront and JC3.
I have a hard time believing IPS is significantly better than a great Dell TN panel.
The biggest draw for IPS for me is viewing angle, as I tend to slouch and sit crosslegged and all kinds of stupid shit so not having the top/bottom of my screen grey out on me so badly would be lovely.Yeah, this thing is redonkulous.

I have the Dell P2414H. Absolutely wonderful. Not sure I could go back to TN unless the picture quality gets really good. I don't play any twitchy games these days anyway.I have a Dell IPS monitor and doubt I'll be replacing it any time soon (U2412M). Such a nice monitor.
Mist if you haven't calibrated your monitor yet, this website is a really good place to start:ICC Profiles and Monitor Settings Database
Edit: Never mind, I'm retarded. One of your links is to the same website.
I manually calibrated it, aside from gamma. Problem with color profiles is some games like to ignore them, especially full screen.I have a Dell IPS monitor and doubt I'll be replacing it any time soon (U2412M). Such a nice monitor.

Vertical viewing angle on this is a lot better than my BenQ. Anti-glare matte finish is also way less grey.The biggest draw for IPS for me is viewing angle, as I tend to slouch and sit crosslegged and all kinds of stupid shit so not having the top/bottom of my screen grey out on me so badly would be lovely.
must suck to have to settle for that peasant trashSo I bought that Dell G-sync monitor. Got it for $540 after discounts. Almost as good color as IPS, and none of the drawbacks.
A+
Very true, but the site also has settings for the monitor itself, not the Windows settings correct? I thought I'd used it to setup my current Dell. Could be wrong I guess. I don't know color settings all that well which is why I found the website in the first place.I manually calibrated it, aside from gamma.

I really think this was better than trying to play the lottery on the Acer or Asus models.must suck to have to settle for that peasant trash
Good call on the RAM... where did you download it from?I went for the 32Gb of RAM as I could afford it, and will never have to worry about changing it again.
More interested in opinions on that M.2 SSD though! seems to good a price to be true!
I've been researching this as well. Apparently you used to be able to with no problem, but a driver update last year made all models with different cooler specs incompatible.I ended up going with an EVGA 970 and some new 2400 RAM (was same price as expanding the 1333 I had so I figured why not just go all new). Insane difference. With all those cheap 970s flying around... Can you SLI one model of 970 to another (e.g. Zotac to EVGA)?
