Agreed. Can't wait.

I remember playing Madden '04 PC with my buddy. I'd let him use the controller and I'd use a keyboard lol.

I have a similar monitor to the 27" Asus you posted: Asus PG279q and its a freakin amazing monitor. I'm not sure what the differences are between the two but i'm sure its minimal. I have a 1080ti running it and its just flat out a beast, everything runs so smooth.

With that said, if i were to pick, i would always pick an ultra wide first just because of the extra things you could do with the extra real estate. I love watching movies fit the whole screen with no black bars, its always what i wanted when watching movies. I would go with the z35p you posted. i haven't used it personally but I use my pg348q way more than my other monitor when working on stuff like web browsing, editing video/photos.

I do split time using both for gaming though, depending how I feel. Games do look better and run smoother on my 27" for obvious reasons.

I have the same PG279q and is great. I thought I'd have buyer's remorse after spending so much on the thing. Nope, the second I saw how beautiful it was even before calibrating it I was in love.

I have that Dell 27 and its amazing. probably the cheapest of the bunch too. Look for sales.

1440p Ultra wide all day. Most games I play have a wide setting, I only had a couple old games that didn’t support it and they were released before 2013 I think.

Especially for computer work, the extra real estate is awesome. When browsing I have three pages open at once and when you video edit the timeline is longer.

I just think 4K monitors are not worth it unless you have a 43” inch tv or something. I tried out my friends and can barely tell the difference on a 27” screen. You also have to increase the ratio to read text.

I’m just waiting for madden and being able to see sideline to sideline pre-snap without zooming out.

Actually I have decided if I’m going to get a better video card I’m going to have to upgrade my CPU.

I can’t get any of the higher CPUs unfortunately so maybe you guys can help me with this:

i5-8400 or Ryzen 2600

Both are same price and to me seem about equal. I’m reading 2600 might be more future proof.

I’ll be pairing it with a GTX 1070ti (I found one for a pretty good price)

I am trying to keep CPU/GPU/Motherboard under $800.

I’m currently using an i5-3570k - it seems it will bottleneck anything above a 1060.

[DocHolliday]

If you have a micro center around you they sell the 8700k for 299$.
