Man, building a PC in this day and age with no real budget restrictions is weird. Like, should I get a 1080 for the heck of it? Should I go back to AMD for Ryzen 5? So many questions. Also gotta figure out if I should build a new VM host or just reconfigure my current PC for it.
Eh, there's not much more cost effective than a used precision for VM hosts. Mine with 64gb of RAM and a 2.6ghz 8-core (so I have another 2011 socket open) was under 700.

Now, do you want 1440p? 4k? 21:9? 144hz? Any combination of these?

If it's good, I'll get another to replace both my shitty Asus TN panels that I try to use for photo editing. Hint: it is not going well.

[QUOTE=Protocol7;52182484]Psh, the human eye can't perceive more than 384hz[/QUOTE] Umm, that's not true. My uncle works for LG and he says he can see the difference on their 2Khz monitors.

There's no point in getting anything that surpasses the HDMI 2.1 standard!!!
[QUOTE=Protocol7;52182518]I have an Xbox One Two Three Project Rattlesnake and I can't tell the difference between 2Khz and 384Hz! PC gamers...[/QUOTE] Bah. You'd never get to even 384Hz on an Xbox One Two Three Rattlesnake. Only the PS64 is going to do that.

[QUOTE=TrafficMan;52179577]Nice, chrome is now hijacking the programmable media keys I have on my G930 when it's the active window meaning I can't control fb2k while using it :poot:[/QUOTE] I solved this by binding one of them to Alt-Tab, take THAT google
Oh wow I actually managed to get HL2 on OSX to run at a pretty stable 60 FPS at native res on the i5 X220 :v: I wonder if the Windows version does worse or better. I'm actually kinda shocked cuz I was only managing 30-40FPS on the Acer C720P which has a newer Intel HD card. However, it was the shitty Celeron 2GB model, so that must've been bottlenecking it pretty hard compared to my i5 with 6GB in the X220.

[QUOTE=Medevila;52183586]CBA to dig anywhere, have peoples' perceptions of 8-bit guy changed post-AI vid?[/QUOTE] I feel like it's less perception and more his content itself it's been in decline since the UMPC review, did he run out of cool keyboards or something

More clients on the same SSID can cause slowdowns in general. It's why having multiple bands is nice to separate things. I usually put Internet of Shit stuff on 2.4 and computers on 5.

If you're gonna get a 1080 at least get the base model Ryzen 7.
