That monitor looks the nuts.

I know the mobo is a big premium but zomg looks amazing as well. Some nice components you've got there mate!

You guys need to see the Elysium 1440p youtube trailer on this monitor..... :eek:

Never seen that Motherboard before, but it looks superb, and as for that Monitor :eek:

I need to start saving as that thing looks even better sitting on your desk than it does in the advertising photo's. Incredible. I can't wait to see this come together

Trine 2, personally think its one of the most prettiest games out.

Civ 5 zoomed out, so much more to see this really is a great monitor for rts gamers

Oh man stop it, those screenshots are superb. I was all set on getting a standard 16:9 monitor, but your making me look at these 21:9 monitors constantly now . . . I need to have a sort out, sell some stuff and get one of these in my life

Agree trine 2 is a very beautiful looking game. It also plays well too

Nice monitor, I've got a 21:9 monitor too.
Games look great and films are awesome. It makes 16:9 look like 4:3 now xD

bakes0310 · 13 Jun 2014 at 12:16

That's it now though, I don't think I could go back to 16:9 now. Next monitor will be a 35+ inch 21:9 5k 120hz....imagine :eek:

I upgrade my monitor about every 4-5 years, so that may be possible.

Finally hit the order button on the 4790k (payday yesterday) along with some mx2 thermal compound. Probably wont get the cpu on release as ive left it quite late, but you never know

Should do, i ordered mine too can't wait!

Might sound a bit crazy but I might not overclock my cpu :eek:

I know I bought a h105 plus some good fans along with m2 thermal paste. But I think with the cpu being at 4.4ghz that's pretty damn good, and comparing it to my [email protected] thats still an improvement.
Ill overclock it when I need too (crazy I know) which I cant see me doing for a couple years maybe. And by then there will be lots of bios updates, which might improve the overclock. So far it looks like the best were gonna get out of the 4790k is about 4.7ghz with a not too high 24/7 voltage. Who knows the bios updates may improve that.
