    Then honestly you could save some money and put it toward gpu or monitor or anything or just save it and get a 7700k, which is the best gaming CPU on the market, instead. 7820x and all kaby lake x and sky lake x is aimed at being more of a workstation CPU. Just read you already bought the parts

Wanted to go all out this time.

    When it comes to games higher frequency is always better than more cores, but with a 1080ti and 4K there's gonna be a negligible difference then you'd have with a 7700k cuz at 4K most the stress is on the graphics card Most games only use up to 4 cores, but still that's an awesome system you're gonna have. Idk if you said it but what kind of monitor do you have ?

  • Currently using a Acer 32" Predator Led G-Sync XB321HK. It's only 60hz though which makes me sad, so i'm currently on a lookout for a good 1440 high-refresh monitor that's at least "28.

  • I had a 4K 60hz monitor no gsync and got a acer predator xb271hu 1440p 165hz with gsync and it's amazing, it's like 700 bucks or so, 1440 is definitely the sweet spot for gaming

I think all IPS monitors have this problem, but if it is anything like the one I currently have I don't think it is noteworthy. I am wondering how the size feels though? 27" seems a little small.

  • I'm pretty sure they're the same exact panel just depends how lucky you are and acer was like 50-100 bucks cheaper compared to the asus monitor when i bought it, I don't notice any backlight bleed on mine and I don't feel like it's too small, I wouldn't go any smaller but 27 is pretty nice

But that refresh rate is a game changer. I have a bunch of bonus points at my main store so I'll get it cheap, might just go for it. The one I have is decidedly the best one I've ever tried, but the low refresh rate is annoying.

  • Yeah I didn't think a higher refresh rate would make that much of a difference but I'll never get a monitor with lower than 120 fps again
