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.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
