I have had a bit of an impulse buy!
Seen a acer x34a on sale the other day and couldn't help myself.
Need some advise - i know my current specs will be nowhere near good enough for me to see the benefits of this screen (will it be as bad as i am thinking? ) and i want to do something about it. Not worried about going over kill but i would like to do the monitor justice.
my options are - Buy what i need to upgrade my old components
Buy a complete new setup and sell the old one or give it to the other half to use
i don't mind spending some money but don't want to go crazy.
My current spec are ;
Intel Core i5-3570K @ 4.5GHz
Gigabyte Z77-G1-Sniper M3 Intel Z77
Radeon HD 7970
550w GX 80 plus cooler master psu
16gb team group elite black ddr3
Been looking at the 1070 and 1080 and cant make up my mind if it is worth the jump in price between the two.
if i went this route i am guessing i may need to improve power supply and such.
Cant make up my mind what to do and just find myself spending hours sat in front of a PC trying to find some insight.
Any suggestions will be much appreciated
