Built myself a complete new rig 2 weeks ago, except for the gfx card since I believe it still is more than enough. But my old i5 4xxx non-K together with a cheap $60 MB, still on DDR3 RAM definitely needed the upgrade.
Went with the great AORUS ELITE X570, an AMD Ryzen 7 3800X, 16GB 3200 CL16 RAM, 1tb m.2 NVME SSD, 1TB SATA SSD and a new RED 4TB HDD. My gfx is the nvidia1080 FE
Feels good man, especially since I was so CPU bottlenecked all the time.
This upgrade also ensures that everything is futureproof again, and for the most part that the next big upgrade relies on the GPU again.
I know people swear they see the difference and I’m sure they do but I can’t notice enough of one from 100hz to 165hz to ever consider leaving my 3440x1440 behind.
I may forever have an ultrawide monitor. The added field of view is amazing.
Yeah one of the things I’m looking forward too is shooter games on high refresh rate monitor.
A little off topic, but were you guys aware that there are private servers for MoP and Cata? I’m just discovering this. I wonder if anyone actually queues arena on those servers. How is it legal to play the game without being subbed?
When I first started playing I remember watching “Cottage 1,” (some Druid from EU,) and I always wanted to try playing cata.
Yup and nothing wrong with that, 100hz is plenty aswell and everyone should do exacly that: Get the right monitor for what they would get the most use out of what they do most.
