Think it's due to my fantastic building skills

Yeah I've never looked at pushing ram over before. Will defo lool at it in a month or so

No worries, enjoy the system and your build

As a heads up, no games will push your CPU as hot as realbench did

Brilliant

thanks for all yours help, I'll have to hope you're still around when I want my next upgrade/boost

Kids are 2 and 11 months... Hope I'll be gaming for a long while and bring the. Into the fold haha

Just don't be surprised when they eventually beat you on your favourite game!

NEVER ! haha

how you finding the system mate?

NathanL · 1 May 2018 at 15:29

It's flying!
Properly chuffed with it, can play even the least optimised games *cough* pubg *cough* on ultra and average 90fps.

Still doesn't quite like Nvidia hairworks though!!

Despite this clear boost in hardware capability, it unfortunately hasn't made me any better at games and my aim is still shoddy. Just bought a mouse mat to see if that helps my mouse jumping around (currently aging on a leather desk pad thing). Hopefully it'll improve me!

Oh and the SSD is working wonders

haha, and sweet!
yeah, ditch hair works- really not worth it!

Unsure what my next purchase should be, I'm thinking a new monitor, as I'm currently using two Toshiba TVs. Think a nice beautiful screen would suit the build perfectly

orbitalwalsh · 1 May 2018 at 15:50

1080p ultrawide could be nice and the gtx 1060 can handle it

that or 144hz 1080p standard aspect for more fluid gaming

NathanL · 1 May 2018 at 16:01

I'm really tempted by an ultra wide as they look gorgeous on some games, but feel it may look awkward on others.

The 144hz does sound interesting for sure, but don't think my untrained eyes would tell the difference

What do you reckon to this? http://www.lg.com/global/business/monitor/monitor-products/lg-29UM68-P

Looks good, not the best with monitors personally haha

NathanL · 2 May 2018 at 14:34

Ah okay haha no worries

What's your GPU at the mo ?

NathanL · 2 May 2018 at 14:38

Should be able to drive that 1080p wide

Check the games you play support that aspect though !

NathanL · 2 May 2018 at 14:41

Here's hoping! Will it be able to cope with a second monitor also for social media browsing etc

orbitalwalsh · 2 May 2018 at 15:18

Yeah when not gaming, screens don't stress GPUs

NathanL · 2 May 2018 at 15:29

Great to know, thanks!
