Nah, you should upgrade.

I don't think I'll be able to use any of the parts from my current rig then, even the GPU.

I did tell my daughter she could have this one but I'm not ready to build another one yet

Edit: I do wanna at least make an update or two to it before I give it to her though. Nothing crazy

I did defrag and optimize my drives. Deleted a TON of files, turn off unnecessary background apps and some other maintenance stuff

I need a better way to get rid of dust though. I'm tired of buying canned air. Any recs?

Wait... you're still using magnetic drives?

I have an old ass external HDD so I guess?🤷🏾‍♂️

I have an SSD for the OS and just point and click type games

My other PC has a larger SSD for OS and triple A type games that I prefer to play with a controller and on a TV

Buying a monitor is stressful. I've been comparing stats and dimensions all week. I think I'm settled on this bad boy but I wish I could see it in person first even though I know I can just return it if it's not right.

Amazon product ASIN B094RWMN8K

Can't see it, but if there's a Microcenter near you they may have it to check out. Also check to see if Best Buy has one on display.

adblock & ublock seem to be blocking amazon links.

LG 27GP950-B 27” Ultragear UHD (3840 x 2160)​


They don't have it at my local Best Buy but I'm about to head over there to see if they have anything else that might wow me before I pull the trigger.

I need two monitors for work

I have an older Acer I think but it doesn't have HDMI support and I don't wanna have to get no adapters or anything

I also have a Dell

Working from home on a laptop ain't the move

Nah, it ain't. I had corp IT send me a keyboard, mouse, and a 24" 1080p monitor after I got settled in here. Spent 6 months trying to use just the laptop they sent me and finally got fed up with it.

Oled price for an IPS. Nah.

Try running an OLED with an OS ui for a year. Even with screensavers your whole shit is gonna be washed out and pale. Plus I write code all day with old man eyes so I need fonts to render crispy and not jagged.


But yeah that monitor is a little pricey.

Good call - I ended up going to bestbuy and copping this guy...


I'm not in love with it due to it feeling a little less bright than I'm used to but it's definitely an improvement over my LG from 2015 that I've been using.

Ok, I see your point and I forgot about the text quality issue with OLED, smh.
