Monitor help please :) .......

[Nick05]

Hi all,
I am looking at upgrading my whole PC setup this year but I am a little stuck on which monitor / monitors to buy.......
I use my PC for general internet browsing / shopping but mainly for Gaming, I play games like Tomb Raider, Assasins Creed, Dead Light, Witcher 3 etc etc but I also own a sim rig for racing which is where I am a little stuck on which monitor setup to go for, triples or ultra wide single.
I am holding out for the 3080ti so I have time to wait for the new Samsung Odyssey G9 49-inch which ofc would eliminate the need for triples or do I bypass the G9 and simply go for x3 LG UltraGear 27GL850-B Quad HD 27" Nano IPS, whats your thoughts and the pros and cons please guys ?

My rig will be:
Gigabyte MB INT 1151 Z390 Designare D4 ATX
G. Skill D432GB 3200
Intel Core i9-9900K
EVGA Nvidia 3080ti Hybrid

Monitor specs:

LG UltraGear 27GL850-B Quad HD 27" Nano IPS LCD Gaming Monitor
• Nano IPS 1ms response time
• 27” QHD (2560 x 1440) Nano IPS Display

Thank you for the links and replies....

@EsaT,

Well that puts things into perspective, I must admit I have been a good little sheep and stuck with Intel and Nvidia most of my PC life,
Due to a bad experience with an AMD setup about 15 years ago it put me off so I stuck to what I thought was best and have never given AMD another thought until now,
A friend of mine has been trying to convince me to go to AMD lately and also a few others via internet advice and after reading your post (yet another AMD recommendation) I may just do that.

After recently reading that the i9-10900K was soon to be released I did think about waiting for that along with the nvidia 3080ti,
Not being a fan of AMD I don't really try and keep up with their products which leads me on to ask you what AMD setup would you advise to compete with the above setup ?

I only really use my PC for gaming so would an Intel CPU not be better for Higher clock speeds being most important for my usage ?

Thanks for the insight EsaT, I have been reading similar statements this morning and the more i go on the more I am warming to AMD,
One more question if I may ...... Would it be better for me to wait for the new AMD Ryzen 4000 series or would a 3900x be suffice for my needs ?
