JMac Posted May 24, 2016 Posted May 24, 2016 Good Morning Guys, Good to see the site sill around, will visit more often, Just wondering if someone could help with my potential new computer! I am planning on creating a new computer with the view of adding in Two GTX 1080 SLI Configured at a later date - Reason is i don't purchase a new computer very often so trying to future-proof the computer the best i can at this moment in-time - I will initially have one GTX 1080 installed, Just wondering if you have any suggestions or tweaks to make. Thanks for your time!

Thanks Tarun, The PC is going to cost me quite a hefty amount, I have not heard of PCPartPicker, but looks interesting - I am in the United Kingdom So might not work for me! But it is very interesting seeing what other people have created using the site Do you happen to have comments on this monitor Acer Predator XB281HK 28" 4K2K G-Sync Monitor You might even have your own suggestion?

Administrator Tarun Posted May 24, 2016 Administrator Posted May 24, 2016 1ms response time? Wow, that looks good to me. 4K support too. I truthfully wouldn't know where to start. Things have been busy at my house for the past year pretty much. Quote
JMac Posted May 31, 2016 Author Posted May 31, 2016 Thanks for the comment Tarun regarding the potential monitor i am planning to purchase. Trying to Future-Proof the system the best i can at this present moment in time Might need to try and re-build the community here Tarun... Tarun 1 Quote
Administrator Tarun Posted June 1, 2016 Administrator Posted June 1, 2016 I agree @JMac and I've been trying. Things have been rough the past year for sure. Hopefully I can get this place back up and running, plus get AMT2 going. Quote
