There's been a huge upswing in disinformation in these threads, and in the community in general. At the end of the day, YOU are the one who loses if you take bad advice.
Watch out for falsified infographics/benchmarks

should I get the 1600 or 1600x, I'll be overclocking as much as I can, mind

this is what is considered "edging out R5 in gaming"
100% usage & lower framerate
great fucking cpu right there, fuck you op you autistic shill

How's this build?

Willing to pay more. Looking at $2500-$3000 as long as that includes a great Gsync IPS monitor.

>>60128649
please move in there, the op is being misleading for shilling purposes.
>>
i5's & i7's are a fucking meme
why do people justify a 1-4 fps difference when you can have way more stable frametimes, less CPU usage, more futureproof and most importantly, the things all these fuckin' gaymers seem not to realize, better productivity.

I've got an i5 4690k and a 1070. Am I bottlenecking the 1070 with the CPU, or am I good to go?

>>60128793
Yeah, gigabyte makes great mobos. I've been using their shit exclusively for the last 15 years, never had a problem.
>>
>>60128606
It does, right now. Maybe in a year with games using more cores or multi-threading getting serious usage. That said, since games are developed primarily with console sales in mind its doubtful this will change. Plus Intel OCs better.

I need an advice picking a monitor for Photoshop.
Is MVA panel worth going for if i'm looking for good colors and contrast? I'm doing digital art, and i want some good 10bit colors. and while MVA seems to have superior contrast and black depth i heard it's somewhat inferior in color.
I was trying to get myself a 4k IPS panel within 500$ and so far the both monitors i ordered arrived with a dead pixel and i returned them to the store. (i tried Benq BL2711U and HP Z27s )
I found a looks like a great deal
>AOC 32" U3277PWQU
I can get one for 500$ But it isn't IPS, however the tests and reviews are very positive, and it's 32" when others are 27.
Should I grab this one? Am I going to regret not getting an IPS?
I have roughly 500$ to spend on it.

Hello /pcbg/
I'm looking for the best content creation/rendering rig possible for less than $1000 USD.
I need wireless connection and mobility is a must. Since I'll be moving around since I work on different projects. The case is mainly a placeholder. I would appreciate any advise on small matx cases. Don't mind windowed cases, but size and mobility are a must.
This is what i have so far.
