I honestly don't think I could go TN. I'm not a color snob or anything but I'd prefer a better looking picture.

I had a TN panel for a good while, but after going IPS I find it impossible to switch back. I didn't notice it before, but now even the best TNs look a little washed out.
It's one of those things that just ruins you on something you didn't notice before.
Like trying to run Windows off an HDD after having an SSD.....barf.
same.I honestly don't think I could go TN. I'm not a color snob or anything but I'd prefer a better looking picture.
My 4k monitor is IPS and they 1440p 144hz monitor I just ordered is VA.
I had a amazon gift card and then signed up for a store card so I haven't paid out if pocket yet lol.
Speaking of new monitors. I just bought this one a couple of weeks ago. GET WITH THE TIMES. ITS 2019 FOR CRYING OUT LOUD lolStop talking about awesome monitors! I'm still using a 24" 70Hz Acer that's not even 1080p (only 1680x1050) and that I bought 10 years ago. I'm trying to remain happy with it, but y'all are not helping .
1680x1050
They say that you shouldn't mix different types of RAM, but I've been doing that for over 20 years. If you buy two 8GB sticks, simply leave the 4GB sticks in there and you'll likely have 24GB total. If you want piece of mind, note how stable and fast everything is and maybe even a run memory speed benchmark, then remove two 4GB sticks and see if there's any difference.
The only caveat there is that, unless you actually physically damaged the two sticks, the problem could be with the motherboard. Perhaps it's a little flaky and the RX580 draws so much power that you can't use all four RAM sockets anymore. I recently had that happen with a motherboard (though not because I added a GPU), where I was using all four RAM sockets and, then, suddenly, it wouldn't boot up unless I removed either stick pairs. If that's the case with yours, you won't be able to attain 24GB and will just have to leave the 4GB sticks out.
Well so far so good. Found a good price for 2x8 sticks with same timings as my 4gb sticks. Running 24 total and no issues gaming yet. Also monitor issue seems to be fixed just by changing which one was the primary monitor.
Now let's hope this holds for the next 5-7 years!
Looks like MSI has one out now but i can't find any reviews. Just wondering how hot and loud those things can get.
I don't have any experience with nvidia single fan models, but my AMD single fan generally runs about the same temps as a reference cooler. They aren't very noisy usually because the fan curves these days aren't terribly aggressive.
Why would you replace an RTX 2070 though?
I kinda wanna buy a Division 2 AMD code from the steam swap reddit, but the fact that you have to verify hardware (that I dont have) means the seller would have to activate the code and send me the login info. kinda worried about scam tbh but the going price is so good D:
Heh that's a new one to me, the codes just used to work in the past. The game publishers probably got annoyed seeing their keys up for sale.
You should probably start with looking for a case and work out from there, there probably aren't too many as small as a PS4 (and I imagine you won't find anything as slim as a PS4). CPU and GPU probably won't be too much of an issue with those games. Cheap? Depends on your definition of cheap I suppose, usually you have to pay up for form factor with the case/Mobo/power supply.Looking for a cheap portable PC solution. Anyway I can make a mini-PC that can run things like League of Legends (well) and Dota Auto Chess? Don't wanna spend much because it's only for a few times a month. I have a pre-built mini-PC now and it can run League, but it's not great. 40 FPS and the menu lags like crazy. I'd prefer to use something a little better, maybe even with a small dedicated gpu. Or at least maybe a Ryzen APU. Problem is, I want it as small as possible. At the VERY BIGGEST the size of a PS4, but I'd prefer smaller.
