Evening folks and a Merry Christmas, I was a member of this forum many moons ago, about 15 years to be more specific. Back then I had no kids and loads of disposable income to blow on a gaming rig. That same rig is still running as the family desktop for school homework and the occasional linked...

Hi all. Looking to do a full upgrade to a relatively highend PC and trying to decide on the GPU. In my infinite wisdom a few years ago I bought the 27" Acer Predator XB271HU Monitor, 165Hz which is GYSNC only. This has been great and don't really need/want to replace it. However, the current...
