Best Buy is currently selling them online, but not in store. So, my deal is, for PC gaming......I don't want a 32" monitor, that's just ridiculous. 27 inches is about the most I would allow. I plan on buying at least a RTX 3070 video card. That doesn't necessarily ensure that I will be able to play the next 5 years of high-end PC games at 4K resolution. if the goal is to always try to hit 60fps for PC gaming, we don't know if those rumors of DLSS 3.0 being a significant huge upgrade are true or not. So I'm kinda of thinking that a 1440p is probably the most practical choice. This is an IPS display. Now, I used to think that was a big deal, but ultimately VA displays can have better dark contrast, and viewing angles don't really matter for PC gaming if you are always going to be sitting in the same exact spot when using the computer. Also I worry about color ghosting, so I may want to wait for some youtube reviewers to get their hands on this monitor and test it out. Its got HDR, but brightness is at 350 nits Apparently its the same panel as the LG 27GL850-B, except that monitor comes with a USB-hub built-in and its supposed to cost $499.99, but is sold out everywhere, and other stores are selling it for $699 Its also the same panel as the LG 27GL83A-B, except that panel comes with a more-natural sRGP color gamut (which some people may prefer), but that monitor is also sold out, or selling above its original price (around $570 online) I'm thinking I need to jump on this one right now at Best Buy, and if I see a better monitor deal within the next 30 days, I'll just return this one back. This monitor is G-sync "compatible". That means it doesn't have an actual G-sync module in it. It can do 48Hz to 144Hz. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And that's the only way HDR can shine is if its paired with deep black contrast. Apparently a VA panel is the halfway point between the cheap TN panels and IPS panels. But these thing sell out, and immediately get $200 more expensive at re-sale. I'm waiting for Dell to see if they are coming out with anything new, or their Alienware brand.

Remij 4,686 Posted June 2, 2020 Author Share Posted June 2, 2020 So I've been looking around and man... there's NOTHING in stock anywhere right now. There's plenty of Ryzen CPUs, but x570 motherboards are all out of stock or MASSIVELY overpriced. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Call this guy up and find out if his listing is legit. https://www.acrossfly.com/products/socket-at--meg-ace-msi-amd----570--570-motherboard-with-am4 That price alarmingly cheap for a 1st tier type MSI X570 board.

jehurey 3,238 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Why not wait for the B550 mobos? I heard that MSI was making a promise to fix their overclocking functionality in the new B550 mobos because it was crap on their previous mobos. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I heard that MSI was making a promise to fix their overclocking functionality in the new B550 mobos because it was crap on their previous mobos. Yea, I was thinking about that too. Motherboards are the one thing that I'd never really go higher than midrange for. As long as the VRMS are good quality, and there's a decent amount of I/O ports for what I need, I'm happy, as my days of really overclocking hard are past me. After mid-range you're pretty much just paying for luxuries which I wouldn't even make use of. B550's would have been good as well, but many of them are apparently already selling at higher prices than some x570 boards I've heard. It basically came down to availability, The CPU's are like $100 off right now in Canada which is great, but tons of boards are either incredibly overpriced or out of stock completely. So getting the board I did at the price I did seemed alright to me. Same situation with RAM. Ryzen is sensitive to RAM speeds and timings due to the Infinity Fabric of the CPU and can see some pretty good gains with tight timings and high clocks. I got some good fast RAM with CL16 and the price wasn't too crazy. RAM is sold out like crazy too. I figured this board and RAM combo should do pretty well, although I'm gonna have to experiment quite a bit since I'm new to Ryzen overclocking. It would have been better to wait probably, but Ryzen CPUs are selling like crazy and I have no faith that if/when Zen 3 releases they wont be immediately gone and price gouged. Ryzen is way too popular atm and boards and RAM are all being bought up so I basically seized the moment. I was strongly thinking of going with a 3700x 8-core CPU, which I'm sure would be fine for my purposes, but I wanted a few extra cores in the chance that the late generation higher end next gen games require a few more cores for decompressing assets and what have you.
