What's da 311 on using a 4k 40 inch TV as a monitor? Yay or nay?

Don't see the point in having a 40 inch TV unless it's for an HTPC or something ...

More real estate b.

Might not even need to scale with a screen that big.

No more choosing between watching Brittney white do her thing with da meat or watching da latest unboxing video.

More than enough room have both on screen at da same time while keeping da web browsers opened on da other side with outlook opened on da bottom.

Just need some more $$ for da 1080 to complement it.

40 is massive tho for a monitor if you're gonna be sitting at a desk.

Would rather have a 34 UW or something

^ Nah, I'd recommend a free combo of Malwarebytes + Microsoft Security Essentials + NoScript in Firefox.

If you get malware/viruses beyond that, that's on you.

I use NoScript and BitDefender, haven't gotten a virus since the Limewire days 

Also i got a chance to play with the XPS 13 w/ the Kabylake processor, that will 100% be my next laptop after this ASUS dies (been going strong for almost 3 years)

some good deals on Steam right now

What's the smartest buy:

Upgrade my GPU to 1070 or 1080 and get 4k monitor?

Or

Upgrade 50" TV to 4k? I sit about 10' from the tv

 

[datkidfiasco]

Bought doom and Skyrim so far .. can't wait to see what day 2 holds

Upgrading tv to 4k.

Amd's vega gpus are around the corner, which would give you gtx 1080 performance for a cheaper price, and you'd be able to get a 4k monitor with freesync($100 cheaper than g-sync).

My man. I had the same thought about it being cheaper to upgrade the monitor and GPU down the line. My issue with the TV is I also have to upgrade my PS4/buy a 4k blu ray, or get a XB1S

 

[ASE]

Any deals on a 24" gaming monitor? Looking for 1440 but 1080 will do and it's being paired with a gtx 1050 Ti.

Just copped the Crucial MX300 SSD - 750GB for $100 earlier today

Hope my order doesn't get cancelled

Scooped up a G602. Needed a new mouse.

$115 for the Samsung 850 EVO 500GB SSD

https://slickdeals.net/f/9457243-samsung-850-evo-500gb-115-850-evo-1tb-220-amazon?page=2#commentsBox

I already have one -- it's awesome

 

[kdslittlebro]

Goddamn I could use a bigger SSD. I'm constantly deleting games off my 250 gb boot drive, because I don't wanna use my 1 tb hdd but I want a new monitor/gpu. Damn Vega for making me wait so long

 

[D Fly]

GTX 1070 still going strong.

Never gets hot. Neither does my CPU. Not even when I record gameplay for YouTube.

 

[shatterkneesinc]

Still some decent SSD deals but not as good as the MX300 750gb for $100, that was an absolute steal.

$100 or so for a 500gb ssd.

I dont think vega comes out til next year along with zen.

4K still is not economically viable even tho the monitors are dirt cheap, 4K monitors are even cheaper than QHD monitors for some reason.

Just got shipping confirmation for my Crucial 750GB SSD for $100

is it silent when playing a demanding game like wittcher3?

 

[Maserati Fox]

I'm seeing $6 for Shadow of Mordor

Deal's most likely over now.

If you added it to your cart, the price changed to $1.70~.

2x8 GB ram for sure. But other than that your build looks good to me. Maybe a better PSU

Thanks for the help. That's just the kind of cheaper upgrade I was hoping for. Is DDR4 still not worth it for gaming?

 

[ohokalright]

Whats papi gonna do with 16GB of ram?

let em cop you a 4k 40 inch tv b.

or a bigger ssd if you need and dump tha 1TB drive
