Hi,
Not sure this is the right forum, but since I'm working on stuffing too much stuff in an S4, I thought I'd start here. Thanks to everyone who has given my some feedback in the S4 forum, it's been helpful in understanding all the tradeoffs involved in a project like this.
I've got an S4 (thanks Josh!) coming soon, and am finishing assembling all my hardware.
So far (pcpartspicker)
- i5/6600
- EVGA 1060 SC 6G
- GA-Z170MX-Gaming 5 mobo
- 16G 3000 memory
- 250G M2 drive
- Pico 160 / 192W brick
- LG monitor (see below)
I'm looking for a good gaming rig that can also do most PC things well.
I'm interested in the following monitor - LG 27UD68-P, a 27" 4k IPS w/Freesync
I'm read about free/G sync, but have never experienced it.
Should I select a different GPU card if I want this monitor?
Should I focus on a gsync monitor if I go with Nvidia based cards?
Does free/g sync make a big difference in image quality?
Can I play egames (quake live) well with this setup?
Will I enjoy current FPS (Fallout / BF, etc.) if not at ultra?
And finally, can I comfortably power this box with the Pico 160? I know Josh loves the Pico, but pcpartspciker says this config is 279 TDP... I'm concerned I'm under powered...
TIA,
Francis
