I just got this (literally 2 weeks ago) and it is fantastic for gaming.

https://www.pccasegear.com/products/31877/acer-xb270h-g-27in-g-sync-144hz-gaming-monitor

 

Acer XB280HK 28in 4K G-Sync

I recon its worth the extra $85, 1 extra inch but it takes it to 4k.

as i can only run 1 screen  ( i will run a secondary screen to watch movies on while playing stuff) but i dont have room for the 3 screen i wanted for gaming. im looking into the possibility of running 1 very large screen. like a 32-34inch, more money yes, but might be worth it for a single monitor setup.

28" is 60hz @ 4k

27" is 144hz @ 1080

Personally i would go the 27" 144hz @ 1080. 144hz feels A LOT nicer to use even in windows. There is also less strain on the gaming system having to put out 1080 over 4k. That 1070 will struggle a bit on top end games at 4k....

I won't go back to sub 144hz again. 

It'll do 4K gaming for sure. 

But if you want a solid 60fps at all times, you won't be able to run them on Ultra detail.

A good middle ground may be a 1440p monitor at 125hz+ which your 1070 should be able to do.

Otherwise, Anfanee's suggestion is best bang for buck IMO.

Can't wait to see pics of this rig when it's built.

Its not a flashy rig, its got hidden led ring fans which you can just see through the case mesh and glowing ram and a few logos. Thats about it. Thats how i like it, im not a kid anymore :P i almost wanted a solid cube for a case.

Its so quiet though! The thermal take fans with the stepdown cables are so silent. But they work very well. The watercooler again is silent, i keep checking the temps to make sure their doing their job properly.

the corsair link is a good program too, very good to keep an eye on the temps and all the stats, i like stats :)

Was playing a bit of doom last night on ultra everything and it loved it. Much more enjoyable with good smoooooooth gameplay.

Played some no mans sky. That seems to need some optimizing. Unsure if its the game design being procedural generated or if it just needs tweaking but the terrain building ahead when flying in atmosphere is glitchy as f**k.

keen to fire up project cars tonight but even more keen to get my hands on an oculus and play Project C in VR.....

Love the keyboard. i have spent some time setting up the colourscheme for different games (and here me saying im not a kid haha)
my fav colour shceme out of game is white/ pale blue keys which hit red and fade back out, tracing your type.

 

but games are surprisingly better when your keys are marked for you and the rest blacked out. especially when playing games like Mechwarrior online where you have a decent amount of shit active on the keyboard.

No mans sky is poorly coded. Your PC should feel lovely man, and with a good 144hz G sync monitor for gaming it will be so smooth. 

Realistically you should get 4-5 years out of the processor and stuff. GPU maybe 2 years, it depends on what the gaming industry does. I'm expecting to upgrade my GPU around late next year.

By then a 12xx series will be out. 1180ti or 1260/70/80 will be out. Just replace the card. SLI still isn't worth the dosh for the upgrade. Though G-Sync does fix a lot of the issues SLI had it still is far from perfect.

Building a miniITX gaming rig has it's limitations. One of those is cooling/space, apparently this thing hauls ass so hopefully i can push my PC even more.

    • Haha yea it's a bit of a weird setup at the moment, just wanted to make sure I sorted out any headaches before dyno day. At the moment I've changed the exhaust manifold, turbo and downpipe, 460lph fuel pump and rising rate reg as well as the previously mentioned headstuds and gasket. The nistune was already mapped for the car as it was and drove around for a few months no worries. The plan is to run flex fuel hence the big pump, which I've wired direct to the battery through a relay to avoid voltage issues.
    • Um. Was the ECU the same as the one previously there? I know R33's needed R32 GTST ECU's or other tomfoolery to run Nistune. This is such a wild setup. Most people would plumb in the turbo then not drive the car (i.e tow it to a tuner). What's actually changed since it last ran?
    • I'm a bit stuck with this one fellas, I recently decided to undertake a turbo conversion on my GTS-4, ended up pulling the motor to replace all the seals and do an mls head gasket and arp head studs while I was at it. Everything has gone according to plan, no oil or coolant leaks, compression checked out, and decided to give it a test before I book it in for a tune As it stands right now, the turbo only has oil lines plumbed so that I don't put boost into my untuned engine, and I'm using the factory GTS-T crossover pipe with a maf and poddy as a temporary intake. The car starts with relative ease and idles amazingly, however as the title suggests it really doesn't want to rev up, runs very smooth but almost feels choked out and unresponsive to the throttle, almost like it's running lean or something? I've triple checked my vacuum lines and timing with a timing light, injectors haven't been touched as of yet to avoid flooding the engine and worked perfectly beforehand, new plugs and coilpacks, I've even unbolted the cat just to see if it spontaneously collapsed, no dice The car currently has a nistune r32 gtst ecu installed so I have no way to check for fault codes. At this point I'm a bit stumped. Is this normal behaviour for a car with a turbo bolted onto the exhaust going nowhere? I'd imagine the turbo wouldn't cause this much restriction in the exhaust without the boost going through the intake. Any ideas? If necessary I can link a video of how it responds to full throttle while in neutral.
