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.

      Manual Shifter slightly bounces/moves/vibrates when accelerating/deaccelerating

      By Duncan · Posted

      Congratulations on your find  Did you mean it has 6k miles or was that a typo? Firstly, keep in mind some movement of the shifter is normal...it is a long rod hanging out of a box bolted to the engine. Having said that there are 2 next places to look: 1. Transmission and engine mounts. If these are worn or broken the shifter will move around more. They are reasonably easy to source and replace on a hoist, and possible but uncomfortable to replace car stands 2. On the bottom of the shifter there is a nylon cup that sits over shifter's ball end. If this is worn or broken the shifter will move around more than it should (but will still shift OK). That is a cheap part and requires removal of centre console, rubber shifter hole covers and a circlip in the gearbox shifter hole to remove the shifter. Re maintenance, as with any new import you should change all the fluids including transmission when you get it; never trust the seller and previous owners to have done the right thing. I am pretty sure R34 GTT is the same as earlier big box transmissions, so use any good quality GL4 75w90 trans fluid if it is shifting well (if it is hard to shift due to synchro wear, redline shockproof lightweight will keep it alive a bit longer before rebuild is required)

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      Well considering I have the exact same problem with that as the original one I don't think that the ignitor is the problem. I would imagine that this being such an uncommon problem the possibility of getting a new ignitor that is bad in the same way as the old one has to be very slim. I'll definitely pull everything apart this weekend and check the turbo out. Got quite a bit of things to check out Saturday like fuel pressure and the pcv so I'll report back once I do that.  Thanks everyone for all the replies this is all really helpful

      Rb's have issues with bottom end starvation, not head starvation. Which either way, you probably wouldn't ever see on a dyno. Strange... What's pump gas for you? Octane rating?
