I'm still waiting for Acer's and Asus's insane 144Hz HDR monitors in Q1 2018. G-Sync, 144Hz and HDR. Goddamn.
Oh and they are 4K as well.
I too am awaiting my lottery win

I'm in the market for a monitor and am really torn between IPS and TN. I keep changing my mind. On one hand I wouldn't mind the beautiful picture of an IPS but on the other hand I kind of want to make the jump to 144hz. (currently at 60hz right now) I guess my ultimate question would be, is a TN monitor at 144hz that much smoother (not picture quality) than an IPS at 75hz both with Freesync. An IPS at 144hz is just not in my budget.
Yeah those CPUs are gonna be a big gamechanger.The new Intel 8550U mobile chip sound rather impressive, same 15 W TDP as the 7500U, but they put a quad core with HT in there (4C/8T), which gives roughly 50% in multi-threaded benchmarks according to notebookcheck.net. Slightly more L3 cache as well.
First time in a while that Intel really delivers, and now I'm jealous.
I feel embarrassed to say this but my brother gave me his 1080.
I was always using scrub lower end parts that generally did not perform that much better than a ps4 and now I'm in the upper echelon. Im an aristocrat. I'm playing Forza Horizon 3 at 4k 60.
By the way just to put my two cents in, I much prefer graphics and resolution over high framerates, as long as its stable and doesn't stutter and fluctuate badly. I feel like theres so many comments that say the opposite that its actually controversial to say you prefer better visuals over framerate.
Now theres obviously exceptions like I said. I just got through with Just Cause 3 on PS4 and holy cow the framerate is an abomination. Cannot believe it was allowed to be released in that state. If it was any publisher other than Square Enix that wouldn't have been allowed on the store. Constant 15 fps at all times almost.

Looks like a good sale for a budget 1440p IPS monitor. Normal price is $200 USD/$270 CAD.
several video games bench better under the 4690k than the Ryzen 1600. it basically trades blows. absolutely not worth buying a new motherboard and CPU (and potentially RAM)
even factoring on Ryzens superior production capabilities, I wouldnt be paying out
hell im still on a 2500k and I dont see the 1600x as ENOUGH of an upgrade to justify the £400ish id have to drop on the cpu+mobo+ram
I forgot about my comment here so this is late (lol) but can I get a link to something that says they would "trade blows"? Everything I found showed the 1600/1600x cleanly beating the 4690k across the board.

Here's one video that suggests it's close. I can't get YT tags to work on my phone sorry

If I were buying a system now, I certainly wouldn't choose the 4690k over Ryzen, but if I already had a 4690k, I wouldn't ditch it for a Ryzen system either, at least not for a 1600X, not for gaming. .
