But they fuck us over! I am in distress and losing sleep everyday thinking about the private jets and yachts being used by the billionaire class. It's just not right. It's morally bankrupt. It pisses me off so much that I just can't function anymore. GRRRRR And how dare the middle class in this country enjoy all their luxuries while so many around the world are in absolute poverty! Damn them too!! It's just not right! There's just so much anger to go around. But wait, those other people are in other countries. Nevermind, I'm just angry at the billionaires.

I watched both of my grandpas steadily decline until dying with it (one had to deal with partial paralysis from a stroke as well). Towards the end, they didn’t seem to know who I was or who they were, or when they were. My remaining grandma is living a long time with it and seems to be leveling off, but she doesn’t know where she is, who I am, or when it is. Devastating. It’s a good bet my parents are I are destined to get it.

Looks great. I bought the same cpu, motherboard (WiFi version though)and ssd. The 3800x couldn’t be passed up for some of the black friday deals. I can’t wait to fire this thing up! Congratulations! -

16 is more than sufficient. I always get more than I need with RAM. -

I considered getting the TN Dell for my new rig. I have a nixeus edg 27 on my current pc (that I will still use regularly) and had a hard time giving up IPS. However, that Dell had my attention. It seems to be one of the best Tan panels out there. I thought ultra low motion blur usually required someone to turn off adaptive sync? Anyway, I’m glad I could help make a suggestion and hope it works out!

Are you going for 27 or 24 inch? I would assume 27 since you said 2560x1440. As for freesync and gsync, most new monitors coming out with freesync are gsync compatible (which isn't the same as gsync). They don't have nvidia's module in them, but they still still eliminate screen tearing if you are within the fps range (usually between 48-144 on ips) . My 2 cents, I would make it a priority to get 2560x1440, freesync (or gsync compatibility if you use nvidia), and 144hz. I wouldn't settle for 1080p. You can get TN panels with all of these features such as the Dell S2719DGF https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/dell-s2719dgf-155hz-gaming-monitor,5881.html https://www.amazon.com/Dell-27-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor-S2719DGF/dp/B00N2L5CXO Double check the gsync compatibility on that if you use nvidia though.

https://www.tftcentral.co.uk/articles/panel_technologies.htm tl;dr TN panels: The best motion, no backlight bleed, but terrible viewing angles. Colors can get off if you are not directly in front of the monitor. Bad blacks VA: Better than TN viewing angles, but worse than IPS. VA has the best contrast ratio out of any monitors with the deepest blacks, but they suffer from certain color transitions making motion clarity an issue in certain scenes resulting in what people call "smearing". IPS: Best viewing angles, decent motion, great color production. However, they suffer from poor contrast (blacks are washed out) and can have what is called IPS glow and backlight bleed. With that said, IPS is my favorite, although they are more expensive than TN or VA. Edit: tftcentral and https://pcmonitors.info are my favorite review sites.

This is my first build in a while. I haven't kept up with SSD tech. I know CPUs and GPUs and that's about it.Thanks for your help. -

So is the one I ordered okay? -
A couple of days ago, I ordered a LG 27GL850 for my new rig I'm building Review: https://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/lg_27gl850.htm They just sold out on Best Buy: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/searchpage.jsp?st=lg+27gl850-b&_dyncharset=UTF-8&_dynSessConf=&id=pcat17071&type=page&sc=Global&cp=1&nrp=&sp=&qp=&list=n&af=true&iht=y&usc=All+Categories&ks=960&keys=keys There's also a cheaper LG based on the same panel but fewer features: https://www.tftcentral.co.uk/blog/lg-27gl83a-with-27-ips-panel-144hz-refresh-rate-and-srgb-gamut/ Keep your eyes open. There are tons of other great options. I don't know if you are looking for TN, IPS, or VA.

I jumped the gun and bought these two a couple of days ago and they've shipped. I doubt anything is going to get as cheap as they are ($83 per 1tb drive). I haven't found anyone complaining about slow boot or OS functions online with the drive full, even with the 100mb writes at near full capacity. The complaints appear to be related to large file transfers or file transfers whenever the drive is nearly full. I’ll keep my eyes open for another drive as my boot drive and give this one to my fiancée. -

I'm going to look into it, but I'm curious if you think that'll be necessary if I just leave at least 40% of the OS drive empty. I am pretty efficient about not filling up space on my SSDs right now on this machine. The one I'm building I suspect will also be fairly empty. I have a separate file server machine for storage purposes which I rarely use, but it's there if I need it. I just like having extra space. -

All of the above. @Spork3245, I don't see this affecting gaming or the OS based on the Anandtech review in my situation, but I'm open to correction. I am not doing massive file transfers, and I'll plan to keep my OS drive 15-20% free of disc space or so (I do this with SSDs regardless). This machine will primarily be used for gaming, and I should have some spare space on each of the drives. The ssd certainly has some weaknesses, but it also is much faster than SATA ssds in a lot of situations. For the price, I think it was worth it, but I still have an option to give this to someone else I'm building a rig for and put something in its place as boot drive. -

I bought a couple 1 TB drives for $83 bucks each for my new rig. I'll let you know how it goes! I hope I didn't make a huge mistake, but I have a feeling they'll be okay for me.
